Roadtrip

Soooo, why on earth would I decide on a whim to go to Philadelphia with a couple of my roommates and some other people at 9:30 PM on a Wednesday night, when I know I have work at 8 am plus a really busy day the next day?

To go get cheesesteaks and run up the stairs of the Art Museum (the ones from Rocky) of course!!! Duhhh. And to go run around in a huge fountain at midnight and avoid getting arrested.

Wellllll not the last one, but that was just cuz I was freezing! If it were warmer, I seriously think I would have...it's kind of funny to me how I'll do things like walking the streets of Philly late at night (or even I guess walking back from my night class alone), or other crazy stuff without giving it much of a second thought, but I can't do something that so many people do with hardly a second thought without me freaking out and being self-destructive.

Maybe I'm just crazy, lol. Whatever. I don't usually do spontaneous things and I really enjoyed myself. A couple of my friends were talking about how they came to college for the main purpose of getting to know people better and having a good time. Um, yeah. That never really crossed my mind. I always thought I was at college to go to class. Which might explain why I can be so boring, haha.

Part of me wishes that I had that mentality, but then part of me kinda likes my dorky-ness; i.e. getting all excited over learning new things and not feeling satisfied with myself unless I'm taking a full load and getting good grades. I suppose it's all about priorities. Like one of Di's is to get arrested for doing something stupid. LOL.

So anyways, I swear, the coolest things happen when I'm with Di. She happened to mention to the guy in front of her in line that she had never been to Philly and she had never had a cheesesteak and he bought her one! And the guy who was taking orders actually used to live in Towson.

Now I'm going to try and not fall asleep at work.


PS...totally unrelated, but check this out, it's a column by Dave Barry I read today. And that article basically correlates with my knowledge of Geography.
