So I was in Walmart yesterday doing mom's weekly shopping. I really hate Walmart (though I don't mind buying her groceries because I get mine for free!) and I really strongly dislike some of the people who go there. People are often rude, inconsiderate, and either don't walk fast enough, or try to run you over. It's awfuL!
Needless to say, I was ready to get out of walmart and get back home. So while waiting in the line, trying to get checked out, I started thinking (not good when I'm bored.). I have 21 days from the time I graduate until the time Camp Lakeside starts back. That's THREE weeks for those of you who can't count. Frankly (and no offense to mom or dad) I don't want to be stuck at home for those three weeks. So it occured to me... I'm getting out.
That's right! I'm meticulously planning a spontaneous 3 week road trip to some place not in Misssissippi, Alabama, or Arkansas. Great idea, right?!
Here's how I see it. I've pretty much got school covered right now with different scholarships and such, so the money I have saved up right now, I'll use to blow on my road trip. So money's covered-- i don't have to worry about that. But now I'm having issues figuring out where to go...
Should I go to Chicago and stop in St. Louis and visit the Great Lakes? Or head east toward Philadelphia, D.C., and New York? Or perhaps I should make like the old pioneers and head west toward California. I dunno yet. Why don't you give me your opinion?!?!
****NOTE: to anyone who thinks this is a bad idea, I don't wanna hear it. LOL
Wish me luck!!! Oh, P.S. I have a solo (ok, so it's actually a duet) in the NWCC Singers Concert this Thursday! Pray for me!

HOT-LANTA gets my vote! Come on, girl! We have Spring Break next week, might go to the beach the last part of the week - come on and hang out with you old fogey aunt and uncle and 3 pain in the rear cousins! SAVE YOUR MONEY - although you've got the basics covered for college, there's NEVER enough money week to week once you're in the thick of it. My 2 cents! LOVEYA!

I was never really good at geography, but are you sure the Great Lakes are in St. Louis? :)
I'm all for the idea of a road trip. Hey, your aunt Sandy's in the DC area; I'm sure she'd LOVE to show you around! (insert wicked laugh here)
I also think that if you don't know about scholarships for SURE by that time, you might wanna wait and do the road trip for AFTER camp. In fact, waiting 'til AFTER camp will give you more money for the trip! :)
