About to travel mode (BEDA #21)

The past two days after I went hiking I have been in extreme getting ready to travel mode. Anyone that has traveled knows what I mean. It's when you know you only have a week until you leave, and you have way too much to do before it is time to depart.

Yesterday was the first day I had even thought of writing down my "to-pack" list. This is how I felt when I was getting ready for Awanita, Infinitus, my trip to New York, and even my senior year band trip. I am not much of a planner, and I always tend to forget at least one thing. For my band trip it was my toothbrush. (luckily one of my friends always tends to bring an extra one.) Both years at Awanita, I would call my mom up before she came for the fourth of July with a list of things to bring me. Luckily for both Infinitus and The New York trip I didn't forget anything important. I am hoping to make that three trips in a row of not forgetting anything.

I just printed off the directions to get to the hotel of the convention, directions from there to Lena's college, and then from there home. I need to make a mixed cd of wrock songs for us to listen to on the ride up there. My mom wants to at least get a feel for what she is going to be listening to when she is there.

I also want to get my room clean before I leave. I have a problem with cleaning my room. It takes me for-ev-er. I'm serious. I am so horrible about it. I have always been one to get distracted, and the computer in my room doesn't help at all!!! There is one particular reason why I want my room clean before I leave. My brother is wanting to do a serious cleaning to his room. He will be emptying his entire room, vacuuming, washing the walls, and everything that comes back into his room is going through a severe dusting. When he empties out his room, he uses my room and my moms room to store his stuff, so I don't want to give him the opportunity to break my stuff. And it would be nice to say that I had a clean room for a week. haha

Today's video is "Surrender" by Billy Talent. I know I featured Billy Talent earlier in the month, but I have had this song stuck in my head all day. It is a very good song. It is off their album "II". If you have not heard of Billy Talent, I highly recommend them. They are awesome!




I am going to attempt to clean a part of my room... after I record a video for 7NAP. :)

DFTBA!
