the united states of america

since i have not written in my blog for over a year i will begin to explain where i have been. i am a world traveler, well a US traveler at least. i have visited 18 states (NY, TN, GA, OH, IN, Il, IA, MI, SD, KS, MO, TX, LA, OK, CA, AZ, SC) and 20 universities. I have met hundreds of people and lived every day out of my suit case. it has been tough but good. and now i am done. i am ready to start my career. i have no idea where or when but i am ready.

one of the most interesting places i visited this year was south dakota at the south dakota school of mines and technology. the women in the chapter are very nice and they live a short ride from mount rushmore. i was able to visit this wonderful us monument while i visited the school. the heads were much bigger than i expected, i was kind of shocked it is quite realistic. i was very impressed. i did all the genereal tourist things, like watch the movie about its making and visist the gallery along with getting my picture taken with the heads in the backgroud. it was a fabulous trip. and now i will not have to ever make a special trip to south dakota just to see it. i was very pleased.

everywhere i went in our great united states was very interesting. the new cultures, the way people talk, even sense of humor seemed to change by place. now this was quite hard for me, because i am quite sarcastic at times and i sometimes got myself into trouble trying to joke with the people. i learned from my mistakes however and moved on. all in all it was a great year and i would'nt trade the experience for anything.
