Bye Everyone!

I had such a great time on July 4th, though I think your celebration makes no sense. What do funnel cakes and quickly spinning tea cup rides have to do with your independence from Britain? Did General Washington eat a lot of funnel cakes? I guess that would explain the false teeth...

The fireworks were beautiful. Did you know they were invented in Asia? I've always thought that using gunpowder to make amazing splashes of color in the sky was a much better use than making bombs and bullets with it. Imagine if we used all the gunpowder in the world for fireworks instead of war? Now that would be something to celebrate.

I'm sad I'm leaving but I'm excited to see my family again. To everyone at the Academy, thank you for everything! Sayonara!
