DC YO.


So this summer I have done more than I realized. I started out by going to Washington DC. It was a really great experience that I would love to do again someday. We started out by driving to the Atlanta Airport where we took off from. We landed at the Was Dulles Airport and met our tour guide. He took us first to the Udvar Hazy air and space museum. I hung out with my friends Brian and Mikey the whole trip and we had a great time. Brian and Mikey bought space food and we devoured it. It was disgusting in my opinion. After we left the museum, we went into DC itself and took off from there. We visited the vietnam wall/ memorial, ww2 memorial, lincoln memorial, korean war memorial and had dinner at union station. We stayed at a hotel in maryland. We never went to the pool however because it was packed with a bunch of little kids on school trips. it sucked. The next day we went to the library of congress, the supreme court, national archives, the national space and air museum, and the natural history museum. We had a little extra time so Brian, Mikey, and I went to the washington memorial. We went to union station again for dinner. The final day we were there, we went to the white house to begin the day. we went to the iwo jima memorial and the arlington cemetary as well. The cemetary was so funny because i had to control lindsay bennett's wheelchair and i accidently let her go and she started flying down the hill. needless to say i got control. It also stormed and our flight out of reagan got delayed. Our actual flight home though was nice and very pretty. the trip in general was alot of fun and I had a great time.

An introduction to who I am.


Hey Guys! My name is Eric. i am 17(about to turn 18) and i decided to make a blogspot because i think it would be fun to write down things in my life. About me? Well I live in a tiny, recently turned military town , called Grovetown. I Attend Harlem High School where i am very involved with my drama department. Our department is actually one of the best in the state which is always nice since i tend to pursue a career in some sort of theatre. I live with my mom and my dad which actually makes for a very interesting topic since they are split up yet still live together. They both work together as well for a catering company. My father used to be a very well known local chef until he got injured at work and had to stop doing that job. My mom has always worked in security, from mall security to being a correctional officer in a state prison. I want to someday pursue a career in either theatre performance, musical theatre, or theatre education. I want to fall more into the theatre education however because it is more of the kind of life i want to live. The life of a performer is quite hectic and i want to have a family and be able to settle down early. My family is not that well off, mainly because of things my parents have gone thorugh and done in the past, which makes it hard for me, but i still live day by day with a smile on my face and do what i need to get by. I cant wait to go to college and to start a life for myself. I also want to get away from Grovetown. When you have lived most of your life in a very small place, after a while it really gets to you.


I have a good bit of friends who are there for me most of the time which is very nice. I dont really like to say i have best friends because all my friends mean alot to me, no more than the other. of course you always have friends who are closer to you than others, but that usually changes with time. I always love making new friends as well.


I have always considered myself more mature than my age. Granted, people who know me know that i have a crazzzy personality and unless you have seen me serious you would not be able to know how my maturity shows, but when i am serious about something its pretty obvious and an older me comes out.


things i enjoy include theatre, dance, 60s musicals(doowop), shrimp, miyabis, hanging out, swimming, art projects, leadership, volunteering, coffee, shopping, money, children, wacky people, pepsi jazzzz, youtube, music with good beats, and caring people.
