Hello family and friends,
So here goes- Alex blogging. I was convinced to start this after discussing with some of my college friends how we could stay in touch while we're spread out all over the world. Many of us will be speaking different languages and living completely different lives this coming junior year, so a blog seems like the best way of staying at least partially connected. Maybe it will expand into something permanent and less focused- we'll see.
So what am I up to now? I just returned back home to Arlington after completing my sophomore year up at Middlebury College. I delayed my return as much as I could, getting a chance to make some money working at the school's recycling center and witnessing a very pleasant commencement ceremony. It is nice to be home though. In a few days I'll be heading off to Croatia and Bosnia with my family. More on that adventure later!
Anyway, thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear from you- family, old friends from high school, friends at Midd, other acquaintances... Please feel free to comment, e-mail me an update on your life, send me your blog url, etc... Hope everyone is having a great start to the summer.
Happiness is only real when shared.
