Time slipping away

Today is the 5th of June. I leave in 21 days! HOLY COW. Where has the time been hiding? Tomorrow is the first day of finals and I should be studying instead of blogging but, I haven’t said anything in a month. Sorry, now you know I have a grudge with time. Today I got my flight information to D.C for 5 days of orientation and then they send me off on the 1st of July. I HAVE A LAYOVER IN TOKYO, JAPAN! I will be in japan for 3 hours! That’s so amazing to think about. To be completely honest to the internet. I know this life changing experience hasn’t hit me yet. Because I am pretty sure it would HIT ME in the gut and I will never let go of my mom for a whole year. I truly want this following year to change me into a better person so I can make some small difference in this BIG world. This Friday my sister graduates. She will be going to University of Idaho in the fall and her birthday is right after I leave. For the people “following me” who don’t personally know me. My sister and I are very close. She will be saddest and hardest person to say goodbye to at the airport. And I am saying all this with still not feeling the emotions of saying farewell. I will be adding a lot more to my blog now that school is after Friday. So goodnight strangers!

Addressing the UNKNOWN….part 2

So this technically my first post on my fancy new blog!! You may be asking yourself why the strange title? Well, I am glad you mumbled to yourself while staring at a screen! I want to you to understand my reasons on why I am doing this in the first place.

  1. In the world today you have the ability to go anywhere!
  2. I have been wanting and dreaming of traveling since I was a young girl.
  3. It’s the road not taken.
  4. It looks great on applications 😉
  5. I want to be out of my comfort zone x50
  6. I traveled everywhere in my books, now I want to experience it for real.
  7. Escape.
  8. I have seen what my future could be, safe and secure with a simple life. I DON’T WANT THAT.
  9. I want to be apart of something bigger than myself.
  10. At the end of my life I want to feel like I have lived.

Those were only of the few things I could think of on a Thursday night. I would like to leave you with the words of Robert Frost.

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost
