  Can you believe I am acutally updating? In case you didn't notice, xanga hasn't been my highest priority the last while. Not that my friends aren't high priority, its just that xanga isn't my favorite way of staying connected. Since I last posted I finished the last term of school in Thialand, spent about 12 days in Bangladesh, had another week of wrap up back at school, and flew back to the US. I spent two days with friends in New York and PA, then came back to Ohio. Since I have been back in Ohio I have been working and getting ready to go to SMBI. If you want any more details on any of the above, I guess you will just have to ask, because I am not into writing a long boring post about my world wanderings. Just got a few random pics to post, then I'll get off.

  Here I got a few shots from Bangladesh. I haven't even had time to sort them all, so I just picked out a few to post for the anyhow of it.

        

  

  Christmas evening (not Christmas eve, the evening of Christmas) Jason and I got some shots of the nearly full moon rising. Right here I was haveing some fun with Jason's new fish-eye lens.

  

  One of the things I had to do to get ready to go to SMBI was work on my truck a little. That was kind of fun - a way to hang out with my "girlfriend." (Again thanks to Jason for the use of the fish-eye lens)

  

  And I found a good deal on a new camera. So I got it. I was quite happy.

  

  Some of my musings the last while have been about home. When I was in Asia, I thought a lot about going "home," and I was really excited about it. (That hasn't really changed - it kind of bites that I am leaving again so soon.) But it was hard to leave because in a lot of ways, Thailand was home for me for a few months, and leaving meant saying good-buy to friends. Now I am going to SMBI, and that will kind of be home for the next few months. So where is home? You know what I am getting at. Home actually isn't even in this world. Grandpa went home last summer, and I miss him often. But sometime I am actually going  to go home too. And sometimes I don't think that time can come soon enough.

  Later,

  Sommers

  P.S. Props to Mullet on the new profile pic. He did that one for me when we were hangin in NYC. Some of my friends think I turned trecker while I was gone. I must say there is some truth to what they said.
