What's up world? I was in the mood to blog just now and I realize it's been a little while since my last post so I thought it'd be nice to crank out a quicky.
So for those of you who aren't counting, there's only 35 days until my big trip. I'm starting to get more and more excited. Typically when I have a trip, I get overly excited like six months prior, and the excitement doesn't much fade up to the day I leave. But this trip has been different. Not only is it the biggest and by far the best trip I will have ever taken in my life, I haven't been nearly as excited as I get for something like a spring break cruise. But all of the sudden I'm getting cranked over the idea of flying to Dade in just 35 short days.
My iTunes is on shuffle and is giving me all the songs I listened to in LA a few years ago. There's been like three in a row so far. But that's off topic.
I decided to make a travel blog for this trip. I made one in Honduras and it was interesting as fuck. I should have written one in Germany but I was only 11 and that's a bit young to be blogging. So yeah this blog will be completely written on the spot, and we'll see where it goes. I want to just be able to chill in some restaurant in Rabat or Grenada or be sitting on the bus just writing my surroundings. Just put on some music and put the pen to my paper and output everything that I see. Traveling kinda gives you more insight about life in general, writing it down allows you to capture it.
Have you ever heard someone say, "I never want this moment to end"? Like a first kiss or that moment you do something good or experience something awesome? I was thinking about that phrase the other night; it's really a cliche. Whenever someone says they 'never want this moment to end', they usually are talking about a moment of only a few seconds. In some cases it's kind of an infinitesimally small amount of time, like the exact moment you get awarded wings. So like if you took the limit of the moment as delta (t) approaches zero for all you math majors out there. What if you stretched that moment out to like hours? What if you stretched it for like 8 hours? Would you just bask in it?
That's how I feel about long flights. When I'm on a plane, whether I'm flying it or not, traveling to destinations thousands of miles away; that's when I think to myself 'I never want this moment to end.' That moment of pure relaxation while sipping a cocktail gazing out the window listening to Owl City as your jetliner climbs out of Miami is perfection to me. Fortunately for me and my weird tendencies, that moment doesn't only last a few seconds, but rather 8 or 9 hours at times. It's like a whole day of just relaxing and straight chillin'. There is absolutely nothing to do but just sit and chill, and if you have a pen and paper you can write.
So that's how it'll be for me all the way to Spain, and all the way back. While people stress and get jetlagged and force a few hours of sleep, I will be chillin'.
In other news, Thanksgiving Break is coming up. And after Thanksgiving week is one week of normal academics, then we have one week of dead week, and then we have finals week, and then we're done. And Finals Week is the best week of them all. I will only have TWO finals this year, one on Monday, and the other on Tuesday I believe. Then the rest of the week is all about me. College is so nice like that.
Ok well this blog post served it's purpose of getting some excitement out of my system for the time being. Now I'm gonna go play Halo for a few hours. I'm into Halo now. I remember absolutely HATING Halo back in my younger days when it came out. Well now I'm into it. And Halo 4 just came out, and I don't know shit about Halo, so my good friend Conor is letting me borrow Halo's 1-3 and the two prequels to play through so Halo 4 will make sense. Conor's a great guy.
I also bought a year's subscription of Xbox Live last night. I promised myself I'd buy it if I studied and did well enough on my 2nd and 3rd calculus exam. So I passed the test and bought it. And keep this between you and me, but I used my plus account to buy it (i.e. parent's money) so SHHHHHHH.
Luckily my parents only read my blog when I forward it to them, but if they by chance read this one on a whim, now I'll know about it.
"YOU SPENT YOUR PLUS ACCOUNT MONEY ON VIDEOGAMES!?!?"
"Aww you really do read my blog!"
