DCP Packing List

Well it's official... I'm leaving for Orlando in just a few days! Today is Tuesday, and I'm starting my journey to Disney on Saturday morning. My dad and I are driving down to Macon, Georgia on Saturday and then completing the trip to Orlando on Sunday. I'll probably do a post Sunday night with an update of the road trip there! For now, I must focus on the most daunting task I have yet to encounter in this process: PACKING. How do I pack for a semester in a far-off vacation destination with an entirely new atmosphere and climate? I guess the initial step is to make a packing list! (How closely I will follow this list is questionable so I will provide annotations describing what I actually pack after I do so... hopefully it won't be the day before!)

Summer Update

This summer I had the privilege of experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. And no, I'm not talking about South Africa again. I'm talking about what Truman kids call a Kirksville Summer.

I'm sorry I'm a terrible blogger

Greetings and let me just jump right in here and apologize to the select 4-5 people that are aware of this blog's existence. I'm sorry I haven't made a post in around 4 months! I'm very disappointed in myself because I wanted to document a lot more this summer and give a rundown of my time in South Africa. Unfortunately, extreme business in combination with extreme laziness prevented such things from occurring and here I am today, filled with chagrin. Truth is, I found the whole South Africa experience very daunting to write about. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime things that doesn't even feel like it was real. I tried to start a blog post once or twice, but there was just too much to describe and I didn't know where to start. I did, however, write a daily journal while I was there that was pretty detailed so if you have been waiting on edge for four months ready for South Africa synopsis, hit me up and we can set up a tentative schedule to do some journal readings together. For now, suffice it to say that it was absolutely the most wonderful and enlightening experience of my life. For now, let me just let a few pictures do the talking:
