All summer I have been having a hard time being here and doing the same thing every day (i.e. working, homework, being in the same place). I want adventure and I want to go out and do something! I thought my only chance of that was going to be when I go to Puerto Rico in the spring but that wasn't true. Finally the universe gave me what I needed to perk up a bit! I got my schedule for work and saw that I had the entire weekend off! Keep in mind I work as a server so that is something that NEVER happens. So one of my friends asked me if I wanted to go home with her. Granted she only lives one state away in Minnesota but it was still something! It's going to be hard going back to the real world again; especially since now I have even worse wanderlust. Since getting back I've been making different plans to go camping next summer and then after school to head out to California with one or two of my friends. I just can't stay in Wisconsin much longer. Ever since I was a young girl I knew that I was going to get out of Wisconsin as soon as I could and sadly that opportunity won't come until after I finish school in another two or three years but I've been here for almost 21 years so I think I can survive another two or three years. I love the wilderness that you can find here but I absolutely hate the winter; always have and always will. Now being a hooper has made my dislike of winter even worse because I can't hoop outside and now that I moved I no longer have a lounge to hoop in. The snow is really pretty but I need to be somewhere where the lowest temperature is in the 30's. I think California would be really good for me. We just need to find a place with a lot of trees that is also close to the beach. I don't know if I am building this up to be better than it actually will be but I just feel like I have found myself so much in the past year and I can't really further finding myself until I go out and truly experience life. I have always been afraid to do so many things and sadly this weekend was the first time that I have ever gone anywhere without my parents. I don't want to travel alone because as a female that isn't a smart idea but I just need to go out and explore the world and stop being afraid of failing. Since starting hooping I have become a lot more confident with myself and I know that with the help of some friends, I can do this. I don't want to be afraid of life anymore. <3
