Everyone else is doing it...

I'm extremely envious of the people writing travel blogs. Oh, how I long to pack my bags, fill up my gas tank, and head out on the open road (and blog about all my exciting, scary, random adventures).

First I would head to Colorado to visit Garden of the Gods among all the other beautiful places Colorado has to offer. Next I'd head north to Montana where my friend Amanda will soon by residing. After experiencing the glory and splendor of the mountainous region of the western United States, I'd suffer through fields of corn and wheat while making the trek to New York to visit Brianna. I couldn't make a trip to the East without seeing New England in the fall. It just wouldn't be right.

Canada would be next on my list. My recent fascination with researching places to visit has led me to discover Banff National Park - a sight which I soon hope to see.

Enough already

This rain is doing nothing for my already dampened mood. The fog has choked out the sun and inevitably, also my optimism. I could sit here and think of a million things I could be, I should be, doing, but instead I'll choose to spend my time on idle daydreams.

I'm wasting away along with the $40,000 my parents donated to the university that did nothing to further my career.

I work at a coffee shop and a children's clothing store. My life amounts to waking up ridiculously early to serve coffee and espresso to overly-pompous, ungrateful people and staying up late to straighten clothes that will soon be unfolded the next morning by careless customers. I find no joy in this.
