Gettysburg

I know it's been i long time since I've done this. I can't believe how time flies. I saw Frankie's trip to New York though, and it instilled a new "blogger fever" in me.
Anyway, I finally decided I needed to start doing some things while I was out here, or I was going to be home and not done one thing. So I went to Gettysburg. It was a nice start on my list of little adventures. My roomate, Katie, one of classmates, and I drove down one Sat. We saw the visitors center and headed out to see the battle fields. Holy Moly, it was kind of amazing just how vast the area was. One day was plenty for me, just in case anyone decided to make a trip out of it after my elaborate and detailed description. It was pretty cool to see and to say I've done that. Just for an update. . . . school is good. It's hard. I'ts hard to stay focused especially at a pace like this. I'm tired, I'm not gonna lie. I'm already looking forward to X-mas. But thats ok. I heard once "it's the hard that makes it great" :)



I was helping Abe and his buddy figure it all out. They looked confused. So I was showing them the way

Gettysburg


This is the Gettysburg Address. If anybody pronounced in Get-ees-burg like I did, we were mistaken as I quickly learned. Apparently it's pronounced Get-iss-burg. I'm not sure if I really believe that, but that's what the "locals" say.
