I’ll try and keep it brief, cause there is a lot.

I’m way tired of school. I’m definitely ready to get on the tour, and I’m even thinking beyond that. Boring and predictable is as much fun as it sounds.

This girl contacted me on facebook after she saw an article about the tour. She’s planning a similar trip this summer, and is looking for advice. I haven’t really talked to her yet, but its cool that she found it somehow (she’s in VA).

I’m rather annoyed at people going to shows at the Jorgensen because their classes assigned it. Maya Angelou was sold out because of this (we only got in by luck), and today the Warsaw Philharmonic was packed. If they actually wanted to be there, that’s one thing, but as it is they’re taking up my air (and the good seats). Get off my lawn.

I really want to do America on foot after I do it by bus. Not literally walking across the country – that’s a very silly and arbitrary goal that I don’t care to meet. Just setting out with a backpack, and seeing what happens. I’m looking forward to it already.

I feel like there was more. There probably was. That’s what I get for writing at 3am.

Our apartment has a very weird schedule. Each of us is on our own clock. We realized recently that no matter the time of the day, there is someone awake, and someone asleep. For the last month, at least, that’s been true.

I’m already messing around with my walking website. It is mostly just a way to ease the restlessness, since that actual trip is so far off. There is another year of school in the way.

I’m pretty sure in four years I could have learned more on my own than in school. I don’t know if I would have had the drive to do it on my own, and probably would have slacked off a lot, but I would have learned important things as well.

I still haven’t learned about the 20th century, and I’m pretty upset about it. My next semester classes are picked out, and there isn’t anything helpful there either (in all honestly, I’ve tried every class that could possibly help, and there isn’t one that is what I’m looking for). I’m going to give Wikipedia a shot at teaching me things. When this semester ends, I’m going to start working my way from 1900 to 1999 on wikipedia, and finally learn this crap.
