vagabond

Hopefully this time next year I can type this blog from somewhere in the South Pacific and it will be way more interesting to read. I think I have made the decision to study abroad! I am really excited just thinking about it, the hardest part is going be to find money but everyone keeps assuring me that there is money out there to be found. Why wait til I finish college to travel? I can do both! No matter what, money is going to be an issue, I would rather have it be an issue somewhere in Australia, Thailand, or Brazil or South Africa. I do not know what has been keeping me here for so long, fear perhaps? I guess as much as I boast about it I have never really been farther than Northern away from home for a long period of time. But I spent an almost completely isolated summer in Colorado and I think that has given me the confidence that I can go anywhere. It is not like anyone is ever around for me to fall back on when I need them, if they were I would be a lot less stressed right now. I cant keep friends so why try, I would rather just keep making new ones and then they can decide where I stand in their life. All of the people I would consider my, "best friends," are miles and miles away, some of them are timezones away, but they are the only people I really talk to anymore. I have a ton of friends up here, but for some reason I see them as temporary. I would rather go hang out with temporary friends overseas. All I need to do is figure out where exactly I would like to go and start my application. California in the summer, who knows in the fall!
