Hey everyone! Back from college visits and overall, not a very exciting trip. First day was a 6 hour drive to University of Montana which is actually a very nice college. Great campus, laid back people (as to be expected from Montana lol), and lots of cool stuff to offer including their very own mountain with a giant M on it. When i first got to the town Moussoula (i'm sure i didn't spell that right and if ur from montana reading this, I'm sorry!), I was almost sure i didn't want to go here for college. Apparently, the motel we stayed at was in a bad part of town and there were casinos and drunks everywhere. As funny as drunk people are, i wasn't sure i wanted to spend 4 years of my life constantly worried about being mugged by some crazy, drunk hobo's. And there were no video game stores that i could see! and that would suck!! Although, when i actually went to the campus, it was really nice with some awesome people so pretty good experience. I figure they have to have a game store somewhere and even if they don't i can always order online. Also i learned that their creative writing program (which is what i want to major in), is top 10 in the nation and their masters program is number 3 so that's definitely a plus! finally, the restaraunts were amazing there and relatively cheap too and we have friends that live near there who said i could come and stay any time if i got sick of dorm food. So right now i'm definitely leaning towards them for college.

On Friday, we drove to Eastern Washington University, half cuz i was kinda interested in the college and half just cuz my brother goes there and my parents wanted to see him (not that i didn't too just i would have rather gone home cuz i was tired lol). So we spent some time there and i talked to one of the creative writing prof's there. He was really cool and didn't even mind that we were half-an-hour late to meet him (stupid scheduling errors on our part). He was really eccentric too but in a good way. It's far better to have an eccentric prof than a boring one. He also seemed brilliant and has already published a bunch of books (not that UM's prof's havent, but i'm really interested in readin his books after talking to him lol). Fourth day was just kind of a hang out day and we wandered around Spokane/Cheney doing random things. We went to an exotic cat zoo where they had lions and puma's and stuff. The coolest part of that was that they had a real-life Liger there. Apparently, if the dad is a lion, they call it a liger and if the lion is the mom, it's a tigon. The only way a liger/tigon is born is through captivity breeding. That was kinda cool. Then we saw Disturbia, that new movie with Shia LaBeouf (think i spelled that right...), which was amazing!! Best horror movie i've seen in a long time. Highly recommend that. Finally, last day, today, said our good-byes to my bro and drove home.

So i guess the trip wasn't too bad but my family was getting on my nerves a lot of the time so i was kinda bitter throughout a lot of it. But as far as stuff we did, it was fun and i'm pretty positive i'm gonna go to UM for my undergrad and then go to Eastern for my Masters. So that's whats goin on in my life. Now i have to catch up on a buttload of homework that forgot to bring. Peace everyone!
