Countdown Continues

So officially I depart in 18 days!

Since the departure is getting closer and closer my dates and mates (wow that was lame, but whatever) are becoming increasingly more accurate. Sooooo just in case anyone is still thinking "OMG I need to accompany Spenser on part of her trip because of her epic awesomeness and overall people skills" then there is still a chance. Btw I kid about being awesome, I am just me. BUT that is not the point. So below is a list of the places that currently do not have anyone with me or that I am visiting or whatever so yessss.... check it out

Seattle to Rapid City(aka Mt. Rushmore)

Ohio to Buffalo(aka Niagra Falls)

Buffalo to Boston

Weekend in New York City

Atlanta to New Orleans

and that is about it, get in where you fit in people, time is closing in haha... not really but yeah just let me know if you want to join, I would love to have you!!!!

Peace

Countdown & Family Reunions

The official countdown until my departure is 31 days! I am very excited. Right now however I am anxious over a couple other things. One, being I get to go to my 2nd professional baseball game this Sunday, Giants Vs. Dodgers! Two, next week is the Official Johnson Family Reunion! Like the Olympics my mother's side of the family have a family reunion every four years and this year Oceanside is the choice. I will be kayaking, surfing, SeaWorlding, playing basketball, tanning, swimming, BBQing, and visiting family for an entire week. Not bad at all if I do say so myself :) So needless to say the weekend cannot come fast enough.

Peace

Happy Independence Day

The countdown to my take off is underway. I am currently working all summer so I can fund this endeavor of mine and I am still trying to figure out the schedules of everyone coming with me. I am hoping that I don't run out of money somewhere across the country and have to scrub toilets to get home haha, probably would be an interesting experience if I did, but not quite what I had in mind. Hopefully I will have budgeted and planned accordingly and will not need any drastic measures to finance my way back. ;)

Days Until Departure: 56

Schedule-ISH

So I have not written anything for a while because I have been super busy with many things but, during those many things I got a solid schedule done for my trip.

Update/Denver/Spring Quater

Yesterday officially marked the start of Spring Quater 2010 at Cal Poly (and yeah a whole bunch of other schools too). After a couple scheduling blunders on my part (aka signing up for a class taught in German, which I was not aware.... lol), my schedule is now pretty solid with the exception of still needing another class. Hopefully that will work itself out.

On another note Spring Break this year was exceptionally fun and interesting at the same time. I had the opportunity to do what I love most (traveling somewhere I had never been) and went to Denver and Boulder, CO with the CP Women's Lacrosse team.... fo freee! Yes, I scored major on getting to go with them and had a amazing time. Beat CU in a great game, had a lot of fun around town, and then had a blizzard from hell call us out on being from California. It was also my first time experiencing snow fall! If you don't believe the blizzard story you can check the weather reports (or check Facebook photos) I assure you I would not make this up. And while the blizzard was horrible to be in, after was so gorgeous. Fresh snow fall makes everything so picturesque and beautiful. So I guess it was worth it. In general I will most likely not be living in CO for any part of my life because the weather is much too confusing.

In perpetration for the Road Trip I am now starting research on Leg 2 and mapping routes and destinations. This quarter I hope to finish both Leg 2 and Leg 3 plans. I also got a job (holla holla) so I can start saving that gas money because Lord knows is it gonna be too much. Other than that Spring is sure to be beautiful so surfing, beaching (now a verb), and having fun are all on the to do list. Peace.

Today was the last day of finals for me (don't get too excited, I am talking just this quarter). It is amazing. No more studying or schoolwork until April. I finally get to go home and see the family, but first is a quick stop to somewhere that I have never been and won't be going on my road trip. Therefore, it is a perfect op. because I get to go somewhere I have never been (aka. my favorite activity EVAR!).

So here is the deal. I help out with the Cal Poly Women's Lacrosse team (that I used to play on) and because I am so wonderful (actually someone could not go and they had an extra ticket for me), I get to fly FO FREE out to Denver, then travel with them to Boulder and Ft. Collins. It is going to be so great to go on a mini-vacation with all my friends during spring break! So that should be awesome because I have only been to Colorado Springs, CO and have always wanted to see the rest of the state. Oh, and another bonus is that Amber's family lives there and we get to visit and see her home in Golden. Holla Holla!

Well that is all for now!

I love my life.

Peace

P.S. don't worry epic road trips plans are constantly underway!

Today is my Birthday!

Okay, so today is my Birthday, March 3rd! Today reminds me that each year I get a little older (obvious yes I know) and each year I have less and less time to accomplish all the things that I want to do in life (sorry, that is not meant to be depressing in any way). Anyway, so today I turn the ripe age of 22 which means that including Leap Year in 2013 (365*3+1) = 1096 days to complete the task of visiting/experiencing all 50 states before I turn 25, on March 3rd 2013. So the point of this post, besides the obvious task of procrastination over my CE homework assignment, is to recommend the setting of fun goals for yourself, also that today I was born, and to thanks Moms and Pops for my birth haha. Thanks parents!

Well as of today I have been to 22 of the states.

Hopefully by the time I write the date 3Mar2013 I will be able to say that number is 50!

Have a great day on my birthday everyone!

Peace
