9:48 a.m., Santa Fe

As I begin to finalize plans for this upcoming fall, I'm realizing how soon all of these changes are going to materialize. Essentially I have one more month of normalcy before my life takes a turn for the awesome. My sublet is up at the end of April and because I am trying to save up cash for travels, I have secured a spot in my friend's front yard to set up my tent for May/June. Yes, I will become a hobo-drifter. Not only is that another $1200 in my pocket from not having to pay rent, but I'm envisioning long nights spent next to a small fire, getting yelled at by my friend for making a fire in her front yard, and brisk morning walks to the bathroom...paradise.
Either way I'll be in Ireland and the UK for half of May so it won't be so bad. I'm really looking forward to visiting the motherland and checking out my school in London. I'm half expecting to run into some evil twin version of myself in Galway. Come June 30th I will have had my final day of this tedious job and hopefully will have packed up much of my belongings and shipped them to my mother's house. Then I'm hoping a train to LA to stay with a friend for two weeks, then another train up to San Francisco, staying 2 weeks, then riding my bike from San Fran up to Oregon on highway 1 for a few weeks. It feels great to have fairly loose plans/no plans until September. For now, back to work, to sleep and to dreaming.
