Add a lot of gatherings, preparations, and one awesome birthday party for Sydney, and I am tired out. Seeing old friends is good for the heart and it was all worth it... I especially enjoyed Modified Kickball. It begins the same as normal kickball. However, as you're running between first and second, one of your teammates at home plate can throw a football to you and if you catch it...bonus points! Additionally, at third base, there is a set of ladderballs. As you are coasting through home plate, without stopping, you have one opportunity to throw the ladderball. If you are successful in landing it...bonus points! Go here to find out what ladderball is if you're unsure.

We are pretty impressed with our ability to instantly create clubs with ease while simultaneously maintaining a high nerdiness level. Expect quotations.
Plans for Argentina continue. This mostly consists of me complaining about how little I have managed to save up. But I took some Spanish classes online via Skype and learned a lot, so I'm feeling more comfortable about that.
I've also realized that my blog has become pretty boring. I'm not really sure why, but I'll be looking into that and seeing what I can do to make some changes. In the meantime, keep it real on the streets. Also, here's a really great shot of how I apparently look playing frisbee.
