This has certainly been an exciting summer! For me. I mean, I didn't really see my friends that much or anything which some people would consider a complete fail but I did do/accomplish some other things which made it great. However, it has also been on of the most emotionally challenging summers with a few minor (a.k.a. major) bumps in the road.

A Review of My NSLC Experience

*Sighhhhhh.....

It definitely doesn't feel like I spent 10 days in California. More like four or maybe five. Now that I'm back home, I really wish I had taken more pictures and videos. In fact, I wish I had just video-taped the entire thing. Like ALL of it! Thankfully, I went in half thinking I was going to die, but the other half of me knowing this was going to be one of the best experiences of my life and that I should savor every moment. (Talk about cliche...)

Hand Decor

Sorry, guys. This has to be a pretty short post because I just finished packing and it's nearly midnight. And I have to get up at 6:45 tomorrow. Anyway, it was our last day and emotions are running high! I know ten days sounds like a short period of time, but you have to understand that we spend more than 14 hours each day together.

A Day by the Bay

There are officially only 1 and 1/2 days left of this camp, and I've been trying to savor every moment. I'm going to miss the people, the TA's and the unique experiences from NSLC. Today, we spent a few hours on the pier and then came back for some lectures and a talent show!

Dissection Perfection

I would just like to point out that for once, I actually tried on my title! Okay, well, actually I always try, it's just this time I had a burst of creativity. For me. That's creative... for me. :)

The Best Day in History (of NSLC)

So yeah. The title pretty much says it all. Okay, it's the best day in the history of my NSLC experience. Still! Since everything has been amazing, you should at least be a little interested in what happened today, right? Would it help if I said it included brain surgery? Mwahahahahaha....

So anyway, here's the rundown of today's schedule:
