Yesterday, I went and saw the new King Kong movie with my parents, my cousin Lisa and my aunt Suzie. It was definitely an intense 3 hours. Of course the story line was nothing new and they did make some changes (both for the good and bad) from the original version, but I [...]

The past couple of days back at home have been nice. In general, I haven’t been up to too much. Yesterday, I went down to the Fisherman’s with my parents for drinks and dinner. We then visited my uncle up in Anaheim for a little bit. Today was fairly laid back [...]

Well, now that I’m back from my drive, I can update that map of states I’ve visited. Here’s the ones where I was physically present even if only just for a moment in the airport:

Here’s the states where I’ve been physically present outside an airport:

And the real map, for states where I’ve spent the [...]

Before I left, I posted my intended itinerary. Of course I got behind starting on the first day, but managed to catch up. Instead of 675 miles each day, here’s what I actually ended up driving:
Day 1: Carrboro, NC to Auburn, AL (492 miles, 8 hours)
Day 2: Auburn, AL to Sealy, TX via [...]

Here are my pictures from my recent cross country trip. Unfortunately, almost all of them are from the end of the trip. Still, lots of pictures of the desert for you east coast types.

This morning, I got up earlier than I had the past two days. Without a complementary breakfast, I was on the road by 8:45am mountain time.

Well, I’m now sitting at my parents’ place in California. The whole drive went very smoothly.
I just posted two entries from the past couple days that I was unable to put up because I didn’t have internet access. They should be showing up listed with the times I wrote them, but will have [...]

Right now, I’m kicking back in my room in Lordsburg, NM (about 20 miles east of the NM/AZ border). That puts me right about where I had originally planned to be before I fell behind schedule with my late departure on the first day. Today was another marathon drive. I started at [...]

Well, it’s late on Tuesday night (aka Wednesday morning), but I wanted to jot down my thoughts real quick.
Today was a fairly long one. I started in Auburn around 9:30am and headed towards Montgomery. Because I want to visit every state at least once at some point in my life, I took a [...]

My grades finally appeared on Student Central this evening. Despite all the drama with my assistantship, I somehow still got an H (wtf?) in the 6 hours of research and reading I was enrolled in as well as an H in my math class. That pretty much makes my graduation official now! [...]
