MSU?

I think it's starting to hit me that I wont be going back to MSU this fall. Everyone is talking about welcome week, football games, tailgating, etc; and it's making me pretty depressed. Not fair. I feel like college flew by quicker than any other stage of my life.. and I thought high school flew by pretty quick.

Kind of makes me think.. Am I growing up too fast for my own good? I mean fuck, I'm only 22 years old and I already have a full time job (maybe two) lined up. What ever happened to backpacking across Europe, being completely irresponsible, traveling the USA, or going to Australia for a few weeks? I feel like I'm missing a huge part of life by jumping into my career this quickly..

Summer is ending..

Well the summer sure has flown by pretty quickly. Here we are, already August 10th, and I have no idea where the summer went. It hasn't hit me that I'm not taking the usual trek back to East Lansing, but I'm sure in the next couple weeks I'll wonder why I'm not on the road. Well, I guess I will be on the road, but only to start a new chapter of my life in Texas. It feels pretty weird getting a full time job, having to look for a semi-permanent place to live, and moving all my stuff across the country again. I really started to love living out in CO, but I guess the job had to end sometime. Met a ton of awesome people and had some amazing times. At least I'll have a place to stay out here if I visit again.

Had quite the weekend. Went to the shooting range with Mark yesterday. Shot an AR-10, .38 special, .40 pistol, .22 magnum mousy-gun, and of course, a 12-gauge. Felt good to explode some clay pigeons! Then I got the full time job offer for Choke Canyon State Park, went fishing a couple times- caught a nice little brown trout on my kastmaster lure (first one ever!), ate lunch in Steamboat and caught up with Siggy, and did my laundry. Awesome weekend.

Hoping to make the best of the rest of my time here. :-)
