This is a Clever Post Title.

As my final fall semester as a high school student comes to a close, it's kind of hard to believe how fast the time as gone. Sure, those all nighters seemed strenuous and never ending, but all in all, time has flown. A few days ago, I submitted my final application to the college I want to attend next year. Since then, checking the mail has become an exciting/ nerve-racking activity (despite the fact I won't receive a notification letter for at least another few weeks).

(insert really clever transitional sentence here.)

This thursday, I'm going to Virginia with mi madre! While we're there, we're going to (partially) attend a Victory Campaign. In all of the years that I've gone to these conventions, I've never actually been to an adult service. I started going when I was five...but I would always go to superkids (the super cool childrens service...500+ kids in one room...fantastic!). Then, after I graduated from superkids in 6th grade, I started working on the team that makes superkids happen. Everything from skits, worship, preaching...you name it! However, in my 13 years of attending, I had never even been in the adult service (except for escorting kids to their parents occasionally).

This will be a strange experience.

While we're in Virginia, we're also going to be tourists and go explore Washington DC. How exciting. We leave Virginia on Sunday...however, we're not coming home....we're going to NEW YORK CITY! I've only been there once before - early September 2001. Because I was young, I don't remember much about the trip (aside from the HUGE McDonalds in Times Square).

So if you have ever been to Washington DC or NYC, could you comment and leave some suggestions of what I should see while I'm there? Gracias mi amigos (or amigas)!

(ALSO: I will definitely be making a road trip artsy fartsy music video...what song should I use? Suggestions?)

happy things of the day:

Confession: Since my allergies have been rather bothersome, I've spent my day looking at marvelous things like these while listening to pretty music. However, this means I'm behind on my school/ work/ packing. I'm a master procrastinator sometimes.
