The college roommie had said that the July 4th trip can also serve as a celebration of my b-day, which is June 29. This works out well for me mentally because I was feeling pensive about spending my b-day alone this year. As it turns out, my b-day will be on my 2nd Jujitsu class so I will be busy all evening so I don’t have to think about it. And the 1st weekend after the b-day, I will be up north, kayaking around the seals in Monterey Bay. NOW I’m getting excited! The roommie remarked that it’d be the same as Memorial Day weekend; fly up Saturday, dinner Saturday nite w/friends, athletic sight-seeing activity Sunday, BBQ house party Monday, flight back Monday nite. I’m definitely gonna bring my camera this time so I don’t have to go around begging the roommie’s friends to send me their digital photos of the weekend.
