I was working on my bio manuscript (which is due next Tuesday; could I be any more screwed?) and I suddenly got sidetracked. Well, maybe not suddenly. Well. Erm. It's hard for me to concentrate on things, which makes me wonder how I've survived throughout all these years of schooling.
I was reading this review of the movie Eurotrip and ended up checking out Eurotrip.com for an extended amount of time. I mean, I'm still there. Dammit. This metafilter post sparked my interest in travel and made me think about how the only time I went to Europe (I say that as if everyone has gone many times, sorry) was when I was seven. Needless to say, I was bored out of my freakin' mind by everything that wasn't owned by the Disney Corporation, but even EuroDisney was just "okay" because it wasn't finished yet.
My first passport is overflowing with stamps from Asia (my second passport is blank, as far as I can remember). Maybe I'm lucky since I happen to be one of those people whose international excursions took place in Asia 99.99% of the time. However, I don't remember a great deal. My mum had to remind me that I went to Manilla...how do you forget something like that? I mean, that's a major city. But it's not really the same as Europe. When I went to Europe with my family, we went to a few counties (erm, maybe?), but in Asia...actually, we kind of did the same thing. Actually, Asia's COMPLETELY different, you can't even compare it to Europe, really.
Sorry, I'm just babbling. I SHOULD BE DOING BIO! But anyhoo, I want to go to London or Bergen (Norway). Just because. I wonder how much money I'd need to save up to do that. The only thing is that there isn't anyone I would care to drag along with me, and since I'm 18 I could technically go by myself, right? But then what the heck would I do when I get to any of these places? Could I really explore these places on my own? I've never even flown a plane on my own and haven't had to since I'm so close to home. I'm just having stupid daydreams here (actually, it's really late, but you know what I mean). I don't have enough friends in any European counties anyway...well blah me.
My roommate has been sleeping for the past few hours. She went to bed early because the Internet wasn't working at the time, she couldn't borrow a movie she had to watch for some class, and she had nothing else to do. Nothing? As much as I'd love to go to bed before 10 PM, there's too many things I could imagine doing, or actually have to do. I'm really worried about this bio manuscript, for one thing.
Oh, it's so stupid for me to be thinking of such random things. I probably wouldn't be able to even save up a few hundred dollars anyway.
Rarhg..RAGRHA god I'm tired. Somewhat. I just feel tired because I've been in a very dark room for the past few hours.

Hey Robyn, you could do what my AP US History teacher did when he was in college, and transfer to the University of London for a year! Or some other British university! Then, not only would you be in close proximity to awesome overseas places, but you'd have an actual purpose there and stuff.
When I'm in college, maybe we can make plans to go to Europe together! Or just meet up somewhere, I don't know. :)

Gah! I think you forget that *I* am in Europe now! We could like hang out and stuff! :) And it would work seeing how I haven't done all that much siteseeing here yet either. Or gone to any concerts! (The pain!) Actually it would be especially nice considering I have no friends here! Boo hoo! :(
