i’ve been doing some thinking.

I have been struggling the last few months over what i will do when i graduate. I want to celebrate it in some way shape or form and i think i have figured something out.

I want to go on a trip. I’ve wanted to do something in some way shape or form as a graduation present to myself but i thought with the current piling of bills that it would be largely impossible. Of course i began figuring some things out financially and i’ve been largely over-reacting to my financial situation. If i work every free weekend i have from now till i graduate, i can actually go on a trip somewhere within the united states. I think i could even fund it myself, assuming i choose some cheap lodging in the place or places i go.

This is still largely up in the air. It would of course mean not working the full time after i graduate. Between the 15th and may 24th i have 9 days open. if i work three or four of those days that leaves me some time to travel somewhere. I don’t know i guess i’m delerious.

You might ask where this is all coming from. I got into a discussion with Mary and it dawned on me that as much as i used to say i wanted this, i never really calculated the probability of a trip happening. I just assumed it impossible. What is more, before now i was calculating the cost of a new computer into my financial woes.

I’m just thinking… heh

    I forgot I will be paying rent once i get up to new york, so i will need as much capitol as possible. Ah well perhaps i can leave on a flight of fancy when i’m not so strapped time wise.

    We might be able to work something out. Let’s just wait and see until I figure out what summer job I end up taking, and what job I will have in the fall. I understand why you want to do this and how important it is to you that you do it then, and I don’t wanna hold you back.
