STRESS...

I just booked my ticket to Bolivia.

It was the most stressful half hour of my life.

Most of the stress was COMPLETELY my fault.

#1. I waited a WAY LONG TIME to book my ticket - you see, despite what I was told I was CONVINCED that it wouldn't be more expensive. SYKE! (how do you even spell that?)

#2. I just COULDN'T decide when to come back. This is precisely why I waited so long to book in the first place.

I have had this theory that if I would just book a flight I would make everything else work around it...(obviously since the flights are so dadgum expensive).

I was back and forth between the 11th and the 20th. A group is coming in on the 11th and leaving on the 20th. I decided on the 11th. I'm really sad I won't be there with the group. I really enojoyed watching other people fall in love with Bolivia last time. If I think about it I will just get sadder. I want to be there with the group. But the flip of the coin is I HAVE A TON OF WORK TO DO when I get back.

I need to finish my portfolio for school, I have several PD days I need to attend, and I am going to want to spend time with my family and friends.

Now that I am typing it I feel like I should have stayed until the 20th. But - you know what?
If I get there and still decide I need to stay longer...I'll just change the flight. It'll just be a little more money.

What's money?

I think money is dumb and we should move to a barter society.

Ex: Bolivia - I'll come down and explore and love your country and write a book and convince all my friends to come visit if you will just let me come down for free. Deal? Deal!

That's how the world should work.

Anyways...Check back starting June 9th for Bolivia updates!!!!
