Taking a Break

Well, it has been a while since I wrote here. I decided that I will stay here for the summer rather than go to work for MS. I actually got a survey asking why I had declined their offer, and so I had to actually think about it. Turns out, the job (or maybe the company) just didn’t see that interesting to me, at least not at that level of pay. A more interesting job, or more pay may have convinced me to go there.

I left College Station early since I didn’t have any finals. I took the opportunity to get away for some extra time. Currently, I am at my parents’ place enjoying the country. I managed to get a great picture of a thunderstorm cell in the west. It was taken during sunset, which is the reason for its colors:

Then, a few days later, some deer came up close to the house. Here they are:

Yesterday, we went to Lost Maples. We decided to go on the full east trail, which took us up the hill and back down the other side. On the whole, it took us about 3.5 hours to make the hike. There really wasn’t much to see on the top, but when we got down the other side, there was a nice waterfall:
