GRADUATION

This Summers upward bound program ended this Friday with a field trip to a park on Lake Washington. Signing yearbooks, hanging out and eating burgers. During these last six weeks I've gotten a bit attached to my job, or should I say, the students. This is a first. I have never really cared about my work in the past. But this time I did. These kids were great. They might be giants. I am going to miss them. I never miss anybody.

This Thursday we had a banquette at school to give away prices to some of the most outstanding kids. Me and my new guitar hero DeAndre played Say it Ain't So by Weezer and we rocked. This kid has really made an impact on me. Great guy, with a lot of talent.

At the banquet, all of the parents had brought their own food so we could eat different dishes from every corner of the world. That night I also bumped into a old friend from drama. Great night.

Now I am officially on break. Tonight I'm going out to meet Jenn on Capitol Hill for a couple of drinks. Tomorrow I will concur Mount Rainer.
