Sure, I've been on those torturous vacations where the whole family piles into the car and we have to sit with all our suitcases and pillows and snacks and ipods and whatever else can fit in the car, uncomfortably for HOURS!!!
But this will be much different. For one, I am going with my dad only. That means we will have plenty of room to put all of our snacks without them getting in the way. There will be room in that car during those long boring hours.
Secondly, obviously this is not a family vacation. It is a college road trip. I think the words "college road trip" imply that I am in fact old enough to drive. So, on this road trip, instead of staring out the windows for hours and hours, I will actually have the opportunity to drive.
Unfortunately it is a long road trip, but it will be fun. Our more fun at least.
I still need to pack, but I have a little time. Well that's a lie, but I can lie to myself. There are some important things that I would like to say.
First of all, I got a haircut. That is usually not very exciting news, but this is the kind of haircut that's exciting news. This is the kind of haircut where your friends see you and don't recognize you at first. This is the kind of haircut that takes you from being that weird girl who plays with Play-Doh at school, to that hot girl who looks like a movie star (My journalism teacher said Gwennyth Paltrow. I forget who my English teacher said.) I love my hair!
(This is probably not the best picture of me ever, but you can definitely tell how different I look with my haircut)
So that was a major change. It's can be strange to go from the weird nerdy girl to the hot nerdy girl, but looks can be deceiving. I am still weird and usually pretty cold. (That was sort of lamely funny...)
In fact, I am so cold that I bought long underwear, knee high angora socks and a sweater. Mostly because of this road trip. Our destination has a lovely chance of SNOW tomorrow. Never in my life have I lived somewhere that it snows. My purchasing of a winter coat has always been somewhat of a hassle, because I only really need it one day a year...maybe. But now I am going somewhere that it could snow in November...and I have no idea where that old coat is....yikes.
On a totally random note, today my computer decided to have some issues. For a few hours I thought that all the hard work that I'd put into NaNoWriMo would be lost because of a computer virus I managed to catch somehow. Now, it's gone I guess and I have my document saved to a USB drive just in case. I really should get working on that....
I still need to pack though. We're planning on leaving in a couple of hours and I have a lot of stuff to pack. Like every single electronic device I've ever owned and all it's chargers and such. Well, not really, but it feels like it. I should also take my math homework....and that other assignment for the college....and maybe a book....and some movies...Oh and I should buy some music for the road. Oh darn! I am running out of time!!!!
It's time to hit the road, Jack!
