I just thought I’d throw this here because it is a cool moment, even I was 11 months old when 9/11 happened.

Dang, I was only 6 months old it's crazy some kids were not even born when it happened but then I have to think I didn't remember it when I was 6 months old.

Sorry for being inactive for about 2 1/2 months I was super busy with work (seasonal job so not working anymore), college application, and school but now I've finally got enough room in my schedule to start posting again.

 

The posts should resume soon just need to start updating my worksheets again.

Thanks! I applied to Washington State University and Towson University so far but I've still got a few more places I'm applying.

I think I might apply to St. John’s, but that’s about it. I’m mostly likely going to go to some community college for the first two years

I read some frustrating news from our Ski Mountaineering Federation while looking at the qualification docs for the 2020 YOG today. The USOC will not send athletes in sports not in the current Olympic program, and because of the athlete quota restriction (like in 2018) may not send teams in our weaker Olympic sports as well :cry:
