Apart from my travel blog for Peru/South America, I’ve barely touched this, my mainstream blog for tumblr. I think I need to make time to write equally as much in this blog as I did in the other. :-) I’m just trying to keep it together being back here at Otterbein for this, what will be my last semester (on campus). It’ll be nice to finally get the hell out of here. :-) That’s for sure. :-P
maybe he doesnt want to be found… so maybe just leave him alone ok? seriously though, just leave him alone. he has cancer.

Full Moon Rising
Photo: Stefan SeipThe full moon seems to perch amid the trees in a picture taken near Stuttgart, Germany, in March and released last week. The moon looks larger on the horizon than when it’s overhead because of an optical effect called the Ponzo Illusion: The human brain perceives the sky as a dome, so we subconsciously think the moon is farther away—and thus larger—when it’s on the horizon than when it’s above us.
Well, folks… a little less than 2 weeks until I go south… wayyyyyyy south. :-P Here’s what’s really swimming around in my head as of right now… Classes start tomorrow at Otterbein… and it feels really weird knowing I won’t be there… But, whatever… it’ll pass! These next 13 days are going to be critical, and will probably drag worse than all the days have up until now. On the bright side, I finally scored some luggage! Woot! So, now I can start thinking about packing… that’ll be fun. -_- I still need to find a gift for my host family and I want it to be something that all 4 family members can enjoy! Right now I’m caught between chocolates or wine… :-P Hell, maybe both! I’ll figure something out. I’m so excited to meet them! I keep playing it over and over in my head. I’m really looking forward to start blogging… check it out here!

Date of departure, Sept. 25th. Onward, ever striving onward!
As the days dwindle down until it’s time for me to leave for Peru, I’m getting more and more nervous about something going terribly wrong. After the numerous bouts of bad luck and money scares I’ve dealt with this summer… I’m so worried that something else might go wrong… again. Everything is in place and set up so that it won’t, but I can’t shake off being worried sick from what’s already happened. This is a terrible feeling, and as much as I try to ignore it, it’s still there. I am trying my level best to remain positive and be happy that everything is ship shape. The evidence is there in front of me that all is well, so why keep worrying? :-) *SIGH* Deep breaths. Keep on keeping on, Daryl. Keep on keeping on.
I just bought my first drink. Wooooooooooooo!!! Hahahahahahaa… Didn’t even get carded. :-P I didn’t expect to be though.
That’s all.
Out!
