Road trip, anyone?

This is a short and mildly procrastinatory post. But I almost wish I were staying in the Bay Area over the summer, because there are so many friends here, or staying near here, that I want to see before I leave for London! (I have officially bought plane tickets -- I leave the country September 17th, meaning I have a loooong summer -- not complaining!) Specifically, Richard will be in Davis for (most of) the summer, Katie will be spending most of June and July in Uganda (!) before coming back to Berkeley for RA training in mid-August, and the idea of not seeing all of my beautiful Berkeley friends has already started me pining for their presence.

Thus, I propose a solution: ROAD TRIP! Not like I have a car, or much spending money, or parental permission, or anything. In fact, I may emphatically not have most of those. But wouldn't it be great to spend a couple of days in a car with friends driving to NorCal and back again?

Maybe I just love road trips.

Ooh... your London trip sounds exciting! I hope you have a lot of fun, and get to discuss like, the Bronte sisters and Dickens, with professors in tweed suits drinking tea and eating croissants!

P.S. Thanks for your help on Thursday :) The only other person I know in the class is a guy, and I don't think he'd have taken too kindly to the request!

If I get the classes I want, I'll be discussing not just the Brontes and Dickens, but Austen and Blake and all sorts of other awesome people. Preferably with tweed suits and tea. :) And no worries about Thursday!

This was my thought exactly! I think we could make a crazy adventure out of it.

I would totally go, but I'll be spending my summer in San Diego again. You all should just scale the entire state and visit me, too!

Where are you living this summer, and how many of my friends can I fit on your floor? :) But seriously -- how could I even contemplate going for so long without your touch??
