To say that this was just a normal weekend wouldn't be doing it justice. It meant something. Some big thangs went down:
First of all it was my birthday. Nobody likes you when you're 23. The big 2-3, tres-dos, three-and-twenty... whatever. I'm getting up there I realize this, probably should have that 401k started like 6 years ago yeah, yeah, yeah. But thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I had an awesome time with all my friends, and even had some come up from Seattle. Thanks Derek, Kyle and Sam had so much fun.
Second of all it was Graduation Weekend at WWU. So epic. Big shout outs to my Euro-trip friends who finished up: Alan, Brenna and Katie!! Way to go kids and keep the focus on school after a summer in Europe, not easy to do.
Third of all it was an end to my time in Bellingham. I'm all finished up with classes. The rest of my degree completion is going to be student teaching in New Zealand. Many of the friends I saw this weekend aren't gonna be in my life for the next couple months. So I really wanted to take the combo of my bday/grad weekend and spend it with the gals and guys i appreciate so much. Thanks ya'll!
As far as travel news to New Zealand I just booked my ticket a couple of weeks ago and were all good to good. I have a 90 day student visa to NZ and my plane ticket is for exactly 90 days. 1/23/12 to 4/23/12 haha. I can't wait to get the most out of this experience. I want to say the same thing when I was asked if I was happy I came to Western... Wouldn't have done it any other way.
Peace,
Erik
