Traveling Soon!!!!!

Good morning world. it is 8am and I am at work attempting to earn enough money to buy myself a great camera for going abroad this Fall. I am so excited to travel this Fall. I will be living in Spain for three months come September and I can't wait. I hope that this experience changes my life. I have heard from so many other people that going abraod is like one of the best things you could do as an undergrad, or even as a grad for that matter. I have gotten to the point where I sort of feel confined within a small box, called Irvine CA. I love the people that I have met and all of my friends, however I feel that it is time to get out and explore to world.

I spoke to my mother I few days ago and she was doing what she normally does, which is giving me endless advise. And by the way, I value my mother's advise very much, she just has a way of saying things that sort of either puts me at ease or makes me think about my own actions. But i was talking to my mother and towards the end of the conversation I told her that i wanted to travel the world. I want to go everywhere. As a was saying it, i really started to feel excited, because that was not a dream, because I was really going to start this Fall. There is this one saying that I have been kicking around in my head for I while and it is, "The first Spain, Next stop the world!" I don't know how I came up with that, I just think that it embodies what I am feeling as of now.

Thinking of traveling, also making me think of the job that I have now, nothing big just a student desk job. I sit here I am look at the rest of the professional staff and I wonder if I could the same thing that they are doing. I could really come into work every day from 8am to 5pm, sit in a cubicle, and stare at a computer screen for the rest of my working life. Wow, I don't think that I could. I don't get me wrong, I do admire their security, but at the same time I don't. Maybe one day I will have a change of heart and go for that desk job, but for now I want to be a traveler.

I thanked God this morning for life. I thanked god for waking me up this morning because I am sure that that did not have to happen, but it did. Sometimes I do admit that I don't thank God enough for everything that I have in life. I lot of times I am focused on the things that I don't have. I don't have a car, I don't have this or that. But I always have to take a step back and thank him for life and the people that he has placed in my life. And I must also remember to thank him for the opportunities that he has laid before it, such as traveling to Spain in the Fall. I will be patient and trust that things are going to work out for the better. Well I will leave off about here. Until next time. oh and please excuse any spelling errors I am at work and have on time to spell check.
