1) Surfed without a wetsuit (think cheese grater)
2) Ate a quart of Del’s frozen lemonade in one sitting
3) Received an order from swell.com. Tanks aren’t only for girls.
4) Made a skim board ramp with plywood and PVC. Ate it hard.
5) Shared a brewski with my Dad at the Chatham Squire

“You can wear shorts there?” the older lady from New Jersey said to me as we sat on the plane heading to Turkey. “I’ve brought only long clothes since it’s a Muslim country.” For as long as I have been coming to Turkey, my family and I have always met tourists who were surprised about these kinds of cultural norms. In Turkey, not every woman wears a headscarf and even though the food may look unappetizing and mysterious, it’s actually really good.

7:15 There’re a lot of kids milling the hallways, craning their necks in unusual ways and trying to figure out why room 205 is next to room 216. They make things really confusing by asking you to go to a class you’re not going to find again for a year/ haven’t been in for a year. They say homeroom won’t change for all four years of high school but from experience, they lie. To the kid who asked where room 208 is: no idea. Sorry.

The Lounge gives you many opportunities to fail; so feel free to sit next to one of the upperclassmen either outside on their patio or just hop up on that aluminum looking ledge that juniors inhibit. They will love the attention they’re getting from you first timers, and the stories about a clueless freshman coming over to their ‘section in the lounge’ will be reminisced for days.

What I remember of Nairobi is highway from the airport where guards were stationed with guns that had been painted gold, so they’d be obvious even at night. The image I have of the rest of the country is the soft red dirt and a lot of sky, with bushes sticking out in odd tufts along the creases of the land.
