I've finally bought a new English book to read.: Special Topics in Calamity Phyics. No, it is not a book about phyics, it's a poignant novel which makes me daydream for hours after reading.
The one aspect of this book that I love, is the idea of travelling the country, not staying in any place for more than a few months, and receiving a top notch education along the way. I'm a travelling freak, I absolutely love going to new places. I find you learn more that way than just sitting in your same old suburb, visting the same old locales, making no new experiences. I crave that type of change. Well right now I'm happy with where I am, I'm just starting to get to that point (again) where I would rather jump out of my skin than stay in one place. But thankfully I'll be travelling a lot this year: an amusement park in Holland on Tuesday, a bike tour to the North Sea next week, the Swiss Alps at the beginning of July, Wisconsin (!) at the end of July, and Greece during fall break. That's enough to keep me sane for now.
I wish there were a job where you could travel and get paid well while doing something that you love. Maybe write for a travel magazine? Or be a travelling professor like the father in the book? All I know is that I WILL NOT be one of those people who goes to college, gets a job, gets married and has kids, and spends the rest of their life wasting away in the suburbs. At least not until I've seen more of the world.
