Saturday June 29, 20123:07 P.M. So I have this big assignment that I got to write up tonight, but this is good because I can just change a few words and stuff and use it for my blog as well. Or, I could write it in my blog, publish my blog, and then change a […]

Started 9:38 P.M. on 6/28/13 ___________________ Alright. Now it’s 10:49 P.M. and the pictures haven’t even started uploading, so time to switch to Chrome from Firefox.

Micronesia: Day 4
6/26/13 Started 4:49 P.M. on 6/28/13. Again, I’m trying to play catchup. Thankfully, this post shouldn’t take too long. Days 5 and 6… well… let’s just say I’ve got my hands full.
