Default I'm baaaaaack.

Hey y'all. I don't know if anyone really remembers me, but I used to come on here all of the time. I'm 18 and just finished my first year of college, so that kept me off of here for a while. Last time I posted I was headed off to Europe to spend a month solo backpacking for my first ever Christmas alone, which is insane to think about, because I was only 17. That was incredible. I went to Erfurt, Berlin (Christmas), and Dresden, Germany, Prague (New Years) and Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic, Budapest, Hungary, Vienna Austria, Bratislava, Slovakia, and Nuernberg, Germany. Between this and where I backpacked last summer, I have that infamous travel bug that captured my mom a long time ago, but here I am, it's summer again, and I'm still at home. I have to be though, because I'm headed off to the Naval Academy for the great class of 2011 on June 27th. I won't be able to travel like I really want to until I move overseas, but I'm hoping the Navy can take me to some great places.
So I'm done rambling about myself and whether you remember me or not, I'm here for a little less that 6 weeks before I'm off to plebe summer and can be back and I'll answer any questions that I can!
Cheers. <3

Welcome back!

The Navy will be good for you...I got to a number of places in my six years in the military that I might not have made it to, otherwise...
