Spafrican Invasion

Spain portion of my trip has been blogged:

I'm so tired.

Morocco is coming soon, after I get photos from my friends.

Here's a random list of things I want:

A tattoo that has to do with the desert. I can't think of a symbol though. Ideas?

... Just to go back to the desert.

Time alone to write.

For my stomach to feel normal again.

To get paid to travel. How can I make this work? Travel writing? I'm open to suggestions, universe.

To be published and have an agent.

To feel grounded again (so many factors are making my brain swirly).

Things that I'm grateful for:

Awesome friends and family.

Awesome experiences.

The insane number of opportunities open to me (despite the overwhelming feeling I get when I look at them).

That I have an apartment and kittehs to come home to in June.

My growing sense of and understanding of Self.

Also, UBC is looking better and better every day. I know I dislike school, but people always say it's different in grad school. Hmm. We'll see. Research shall continue...

Also, I've been planning my first meal upon returning to Buffalo... I'm thinking something incredibly unhealthy. Nothing says "welcome home" like indigestion.

Also, I'm probably going to Athens at the end of May instead of bumming around London. I'm going into debt to do it, but that's fine because I'm awesome, and I will have a job very shortly after returning to the states. I have faith in that. You say "irresponsible," I say "why not?" Life is for the alive, my dears.

This post was very scattered. Good night!
