I hate...

So this blog is born out of an incredible desire to never ever go to college and to never ever be surrounded by people who want to learn and take notes and study. And absolutely worst of all, people who want to HIKE.
Here is a list of things I hate:
  • people. But only certain people. I'm not going to explain beyond that, except to say that all the people I hate are either from Canada (sorry...nothing personal. Canadians are lovely!) or I don't know them at all, or both.
  • studying. I hated high school because I had to study and learn all these things I didn't care about and spend lots of time sitting in class trying to stay awake. And I feel like that impending doom is a for-sure thing in my life...aka Eastern University.
  • hiking. We went hiking in the Drakensberg a few weeks ago, and it was fun. I enjoyed it. But I'm not lying, I almost died. Partly I was just really dehydrated, and partly I'm possibly anemic, and partly I'm just really out of shape, but LORD. It was awful.
  • not making money. I'll not have a for-sure job, and that is too bad, because I can think of things I could really use that money for - mostly, a plane ticket back to this joint.
  • only having a few weeks to be home before going to college. Sure, last year at this time I was just itching to get away from home, but home is nice...and I miss my family and my friends and wish I had more free time to get to be with them and just relax.
  • being cold. This is only sort of related, because I'm saying that because I'm cold right now. But also, it will probably be really cold at home during the winter, and I'm not up for any snow or sleet or hail or other crazy things that Pennsylvania will have to bring.

Ok so I have a bad attitude in general...yay me.

Gonna go see if that orange I stuck in my bed to defrost is ready to eat yet.

    That strikes a nerve: I love to learn and walk. I hear what you are saying about problems staying awake in classes you aren't interested in, and problems keeping up on a hike where the distance and pace are not of your choosing; but the trick is to find a class that you are actually interested in, and that motivates you to do your best work; and with walking, to walk with someone who goes at your pace, or even lets you set the pace.
