New Blog

Hello Everybody! Hope your summer went well!

Gone are the days in Germany and gone are the days with Lisa, who I miss every day like a sister. I never did get around to blogging about what she and I did together in the USA, but it's saved as a draft as I type this blog post. I know I promised before that I would blog for the last three weeks of our time together, but the sheer speed at which we saw the States and the fact that I was also packing for college the entire time made it extremely difficult to find time to think straight, let alone post.

For those who can't wait and just want the overview:
July 26: Flew to the United States
July 27: Mt. Washington and the Duquesne Incline
July 28: Hanging out
July 29: Downtown Pittsburgh, Cathedral of Learning, Nationality Rooms
July 30: Phipps Conservatory, Ikea, shopping at Robinson and dinner at Golden Corral (American Buffet)
July 31: Dinner at my dad's house with the best BBQ in the country
August 1: Hanging out
August 2: Shopping, packing for Niagara Falls
August 3: Niagara Falls
August 4: Packing for New Jersey
August 5: Pirates game (they won!!)
August 6: Drive to New Jersey
August 7: New York City
August 8: Touring suburban New Jersey
August 9: Philadelphia Art Museum, Independence Hall
August 10/11: Washington D.C.
August 12: Driving home from New Jersey
August 13/14: Hanging out
August 15: Packing for home and buying American goodies to take home
August 16: Lisa left :-(

Believe it or not, I've already survived my first week of college! More on both college and my experience with Lisa later, though. It's almost midnight. I just wanted to let all those people who follow me know that if you'd like to jump ship, now's the time :-) Because I don't know how often I'm going to be posting because, let's be honest, college schedules are like that, the "Megan show" will be an intermittent flow of fun updates and random observations, not the earth-shattering deep cultural connections like before. And unlike my Germany posts (which were days on end rambling, sorry >_<) I'm planning on posting more often but keeping it short and sweet.

I'm going to keep the address megansrotaryexchange.blogspot.com for now, but in a few weeks, I'll probably be changing the URL to megansbuckeyelife.blogspot.com. That way, any bookmarks anybody has won't be suddenly disrupted. I believe anybody set to receive email updates will continue to receive them at the new URL.

Thanks again to everybody who followed me throughout my Germany trip. It really does mean a lot to have so many interested readers! I hope you'll join me on my next adventure in college :-)

Until next post,
Megan
