Slow Week

So it's been a slow week here in Winston. Most of us are buckling down and working hard to get through projects and tests. Our book readers are making their way through Shantaram. The nerds are playing marathon sessions of Starcraft, in between our work. Meanwhile, yours truly is trying to build up his resume and portfolio and find a job for the summer. Worst comes to worst, I can always just do freelance work all summer. Although that will undoubtedly leave me more poor than I would like. Anyway, I'll continue with our travel histories next week. But for now, I would bet most of us are settling in for a long, 500+ day wait for our adventure. 512 days to be exact!!!

The Bug

So I've just returned from Spring Break back at home, and I did pretty much nothing but think about this trip. I have the travel bug bad. From brainstorming events and locations, to crunching numbers on living expenses and how to limit them. I can't seem to think about anything else. Which is very bad now, because I'm back to grad school and I have a stack of work 6 miles high. 534 days and counting!
