I am not a blogger

I think I caught some kind of bug this summer because ever since the first session began I have been wanting to just get out of town. No matter how much I have been telling myself that this is normal and that it is all part of being a student, I am really just hitting my breaking-point every single day. That is why I have decided to do something totally compulsive and go on a vacation. I took some time this month when I wasn’t working or studying to compare hotels and compare airfare. That is right folks I am getting out of this place, and fast!

I spun my globe and put my finger down on a little place called Europe. This magical land of wonder is where I will be spending the next two weeks of my life. I will be living the lavish lifestyle of a poor student from Baltimore staying in cheap hotels, motels, and villas, all across the lands of the old world. I have never been to this part of the world so I am really excited to see if it is all I thought it would be. I definitely know that I want to hit up plenty of pubs and wineries, to see what Europe is really all about. You don’t really know a country, at least I think, until you meet the people who populate its bars. I also want to try to make my way to some of the ski lodges over there because I have always wanted to try and snowboard the alps but so far it has been just a dream. That will be a little bonus if I can find some time and money in the mix of it all. I won’t be bringing much money or provisions. It will be mostly me and my pack with very little spending money and a lot of energy for new experiences.

Hopefully in two weeks when I come back you will be hearing from a totally new person. I hope that above all of the little petty details of a vacation that I really learn something. I don’t care if I came back without any of my stuff and totally broke, if I learned something then it was all worth it. But I hope that I do come back with all my stuff anyway. Wish me luck out there and I’ll try to drop a line from the south of France where I should be in just about a week from now.
