Sorry that I've been slacking in my posts lately. I don't really know who I'm apologizing to either. I feel like I have an audience or that I'm speaking to someone specifically, but really, in my head it kind of weirds me out since I feel like I'm having a conversation with my computer or some website. It doesn't help that blogspot or my computer doesn't respond either. Between visiting people before I leave, driving back and forth from NJ and MA and trying to organize my life, I've A) not had time to sit down and right and B) I've forgotten about the blog (oh no! something I said I'd never do!)
So the time is upon us. As I sit here, writing this entry at 1:50 in the morning, I can't fall asleep. I think it may be the Coke I drank an hour ago rather than excitement. I don't think it has hit me yet. Im moving cross country, but I don't feel excited. It's got to be the damn caffeine.
Anywho, the last couple days have been good. I drove to MA to visit friends and get some of my belongings from a self storage unit, but that was a utter failure. After arriving at the storage unit with the hope of cutting off the locks put on it by my mother (who lost the keys to the lock) we found the locks to be industrial grade steel, so I had to come back another day after we acquired huge bolt cutters. After cutting the locks, I had to hit them for 10-15 minutes each in order to bend them enough to get them off the actual door, allowing me to open up the unit. Once that was done, I had to dig through a house worth of boxes and furniture. To make a long story short, all that effort and I couldn't find my boxes. But, I did get to hang out with my friends, play some soccer and the The Expendables (fun action movie, horrible production values other than the explosions).
After looking at the map with my mom - we decided that we are driving from Manahawkin, New Jersey to Columbus, Ohio tomorrow. For a grand total of 553 miles or 9hrs6mins.
Add this total to the 635 miles already driven and 10hr32mins in a car for a grand total of 1,188 miles and 19hrs38min.
Not bad for the first day of the trip.
I'll keep you posted as we drive! Be prepared for pictures!
