Photo of the Week #2

The second installment in a series of my favorite photos each week from my Flickr account.

Daily Wrap-Up - An... Odd Day

First a bit of background. My commencement activities were held yesterday, and the foreign exchange student we're hosting was graduating. As a result, her dad is in town, so today we wanted to give him a brief tour of the city. One of the stops we made was Finlay Park, which holds a great view of the Columbia skyline, depicted in my Photo of the Week from last week. As we were walking to the fountain, we saw a man open a car door, retrieve a bag of some sort, and walk off, as the car alarm continued to go off. He continued to walk off without so much as looking back, a suspicious sign to say the least. My dad and I had remembered seeing a police car at the top of a hill, so he ran to report the now-suspected crime. The man has caught and apprehended. Because the police had a eyewitness account, the theft was categorized as a felony, auto theft, rather than a misdemeanor. It was an... interesting experience.

SUMMER!

With today's two exams, summer vacation is FINALLY here. Tomorrow is the school's commencement, where I'll be ushering and the foreign exchange student we're hosting is graduating. It's about time for a break, and the timing is just about impeccable.

Happy Memorial Day!

Memorial Day '08 outlook: Studying for exams. On deck for Tuesday: English 9 and Spanish 1. What a waste of a memorial day.

Here's a new weekly feature: Each Saturday, I'll pick one picture from my Flickr account. I'll try to post each Saturday, but I won't make promises.
