Alex at penn

It's one o'clock right now. It's been raining since before I woke up at eight o'clock. Hurricane Ernesto is making college very damp.

Here are some photos from the summer:


Starting with Graduation




From New York City and Long Island for Michelle's Wedding:


This is on the escalator at the theatre playing the Lion King.


They were made for Broadway!


Newly Weds

The best part about weddings is meeting up with all of the extended family.












Allison and I took a road trip down to Sedona Arizona where we also visited the Grand Canyon.

Sedona's local animal is the Javelina which is a little hog. Every corner you turn, a new artsy javelina sculpture decorates the walkways.










This picture is from a going away party for my friend Eric. He is in the Green Shirt. Everyone in the picture went to school together in junior high.


And now, back to school. Well, just to school I guess.

Mom and Dad


This is the entrance to the Quad which is the building where I live.


My dorm room is one of the last rooms on the left down this walk way.


Welcome to the Upper Quad. This is our triangle grassy knoll.


Walking towards my dorm...


Here is the first view of our triple. There are three rooms. The Living room (below), a double room on the right and a single on the left.


This is the single where Stephen lives.


Here's a messy shot, which is actually a rare site for this room (we're very organized, schockingly), of the double room.


Allison's mom made me a beautiful quilt and two matching pillow cases.


This is my desk. A very nice desk because my parents are ridiculous. If anyone asks you if you know any ridiculous people, say, "Yes, I do." They picked up this huge tv when I asked for a little one to keep up on the news and General Hospital.


From left to right: Stephen, Alex, JJ. The college boys of Baldwin 209!


The Family!!


Now, Let's walk around a rainy campus...




We were able to go down-town yesterday. here are some shots of Philadelphia











These are a lot of people who live in my hall.


The school sponsored a Toga party in the museum on campus...






There was a guy in an ape costume, I'm not sure why.


So, that is all I have for now. Everything is going well and damp. I'm having a great time. I'll sent out an email soon enough with all my mailing information, etc.

I must be off to a couple of lectures on taxes! Who's pumped?
