I'm On My Way

If you want something done, you have to do it. That seems obvious, right? Well it's not. If you want something for yourself, you can't depend on other people to do it. You have to do it yourself. That's how I got my room painted. I kept waiting and waiting for my parents to do it and they never did, until one day I started ripping the wallpaper off the walls, and whaddya know, and month later my walls were purple. That's also how I moved downstairs in the first place, actually. They kept saying they would do it eventually, maybe, perhaps in the summer, and I was like yeah screw this and started moving my stuff in there. And so, it makes sense that it's also how I'm going to Senegal. I know my entire family isn't going to go again for a long time, and I'm definitely not waiting. So, I applied like crazy at a good 70% of the businesses in Chan, and finally got a job. Phase 1, complete. Now I just need to make $3000. But I have an entire year, and I'm getting there. Well not really, I mean I'm not even close, but every hour I work is progress, right? Right. So I'm on my way. And a year from now, I'll be at the airport. The reason it will be a year from now today is because two years ago today is when we went last time. July 2nd, 2009, to July 25th. And so next year I'm gonna go on this day. Most likely. Only I'm staying a month instead of three weeks. Anyway. The moral of the story is, when you want things, you have to get them. Yourself. The end.
