Well, I've never attempted one of these before but I enjoy journalling moreso when travelling than in my everyday life which I am unfortunately in the midst of right now.
As of now, I spend my days working the night-shift, going straight from work to university and managing maybe 3 hours of sleep a night. I am not a fan of this set-up. University is very frustrating, I have to drive in order to get there from work, but there's nowhere to park so I end up getting a parking ticket every week on top of all the money I'm already dishing out for tuition and books. My favorite classes are film and history classes.
I am spending very little money and instead store it away saving for my trip I will embark on this summer, by far my most wide-scale attempt. I intend on living in London, England for the next year or so, working and saving money there before doing as extensive a trip across Europe as possible. I will be going to the Fiesta of San Fermin in Pamplona in July. This is something I've wanted to do since I was 14 and first read 'The Sun Also Rises.' After my visa expires and I've ran out of money, I may try going through another working visa in Ireland or Germany from which I would try and do some travelling of Africa, if not I think I'll go to New Zealand where I have some friends to stay with.
Of course these are just plans, and could change at any time, however, I'm very glad I decided to go to university for a semester before embarking. I was on the fence, I knew I wanted to travel but I didn't want to miss out on university and come back to it in a couple years when my friends would be 2 or 3 years ahead of me. I've instead confirmed that university really isn't for me, this just isn't the way I like to learn.
Anyways! Thats about it right now, I doubt much will change from this entry in the next few months, so for the next few entries, I don't maybe I'll talk a bit about some other places I've been and some stories I enjoy telling....
And if anyone reads this, thank you, hope you enjoyed it .

    Hey, welcome to the blog world Tend. I enjoy reading them, although I admit I'm not very good at keeping up with my own. It's so nice to see a hard working young man, working and going to college at the same time. I know it's tough right now, but when you're done you'll be very proud of yourself. And you should be. I've always wanted to see the running of the bulls in Pamplona too, also because of reading The Sun Also Rises. But I don't think I'll run, I'll just watch if I ever go. You're not thinking of running, are you?
