Failure and a Road Trip

So I've failed at keeping this up thus far.  Since my last post I've graduated college and taken a cross-country road trip.  As none of the past month's events have fully sunken in and I don't really believe I'm a real adult, I severely neglected my blog.  But now that I'm unemployed and watching, on average, one terrible action movie a day, my aim is to get back into the swing of things.

I'm starting out slow.  Since the end of school, I've written exactly zero words.  So here are pictures of the roadtrip that took me from Boston to my current home in Seattle.  My traveling companion is a military history nerd, so we stopped at both Gettysburg and Crow's Agency (the home of the Battle of Little Bighorn).  The other photos come from the Badlands National Park in South Dakota.  After a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and a stressful two days scrambling to fix it, the incredible sites of the Badlands were even more enjoyable.
