I have been reckless these past few days. Quite reckless.
After I posted my last blog post, I went home and did it. I did something crazy, something so insane that it kind of freaked me out but exilarated me at the same time. I talked to my mom at 11 p.m., and she told me to go to Massachusetts (Massathuseths as Mara Jade says). I have been wanting to go there for a few months now, but I didn't think it was possible to pay for, and my brain, as mentioned before, likes to come up with a bunch of cons.
1. Is it possible to afford?
2. Would it be stupid of me to leave work for a week?
3. You are actually going to let yourself have fun? Isn't that stupid when college is coming up?
4. What about being an adult. You are 18 now, and you are just going to be reckless and spend money?
5.College is just around the corner, and who spends that much money on a plane ticket before college?
6. What will people think? They will probably think you are being stupid.
7. You are really going to spend money?
8. Really?
(These exact thoughts crossed my mind about a zillion times.)
But guess what.....my mom and I went over college expenses and what I would have saved by the end of the summer if I did go to the east coast, and we figured it out....I can afford it and still live for a year at BYU-I without needing to get a job (although I'm still going to look for work up there anyway)!
I searched ticket prices, and JetBlue airlines is the cheapest. When I say the cheapest, I mean between $100 and $300 cheaper than all those other guys. It's probably a miracle. Haha...
I told my friend Brynn. She asked her parents. They said yes to me staying there for a week. My mom bought the tickets with my money so I wouldn't have to look at the screen as my money was taken by the airline. And it's set.
July 12th-July 19th.
I'm goin' to Massachusetts.
The last sentence of this post still makes me so happy. even though you were already here 3 weeks ago. Best sentence ever. A+
