Everybody's Talkin At Me... I Can't Hear The Words They're Sayin

At the behest of my psychiatrist, I'm constructing a kind of plan for myself.

I'm thinking this next year should be a year that I spend trying to get myself on some kind of educational way point. I need to own it, in every sense of the word. I need to tell my parents to shut the fuck up, and pay for everything myself.

I want to ultimately be done with my degree plan by 2006-2007. Either way, in between school and work, I'm leaving the country for a few months.

So I've started planning for my exodus.

Anyone who wants to flee the nation with me, feel free to shout at me about it.

We're doing this backpacker style, and if you have a preference as to what countries you'd like to tag along with me on, feel free to let me know whenever.

It may seem like I'm doing this way too far in advance, but according to most sites I'm actually hedging my bets a tiny bit by doing it now. They say to plan in the fall and start saving by winter, especially since you'd have to save enough for gas and other fecundities.

Oh, and there's no way I'm going to Ibiza. This isn't the "party and bullshit" trip. You should do that when you're ready to stay in a hotel with room service in my opinion, so I'll do that some other time. If you want to, obviously you're welcome to go.

My real post will come soon, but I just wanted to put this out there.
