The Fantastic Amazing Wonderful Adventure of the Century

So one of my best friends and I are going on a fantastic European Adventure this summer. This is something that has been in the works for a while and now it is finally becoming something real! I mean - this is something we've been planning since we were freshmen in college! (um... which was last year...) But anyways. We have been planning where we are going to go and how long we are going to stay in each country and how much it is going to cost (which is going to be more than we can afford, but we will make it work. We will probably come back a little skinnier...)

During our search, we have found little humorous facts along the way and I shall share them with you here.

We want to go to Greece because I have distant relatives that live there and we could stay there for free. And it would just be awesome. So we have been looking for ways to get there and they are few. One way is by boat. We would board a large ferry and depending on how much money you have (*reminder: we have very little) you can spend the time of travel in a room with beds, on the deck, or anywhere in between. Given the monetary position of Alexis and me, we were considering the deck choice. Until we noticed the travel time was 21 hours! Because standing and/or sitting on a deck of a boat for an entire day and night is not extremely appealing, we continue our search to find a way to get to Greece. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to share...

Now that I write this, I realize this is the only funny/ semi-funny thing we have come across. But if anything else comes up, I will write about it.

But this adventure is sure to be the best one ever. I am so excited and I will be sure to post stuff while I am there.
Yup. That's it - Alexis Hales. Chelsea Katseanes. Two backpacks and no fear. (or at least little to no fear...)

My first blog

So this is a blog about the happenings of my hood. It mainly consists of going to school and coming home and doing homework, but every once in a while something of note comes along and surprises me. So I suppose when those things happen, I shall write them in this blog.

So far, nothing exciting has happened since I created this, which was last night. But I am sick, which makes the above-noted actions of me going to school and coming home and doing homework extremely difficult. Which partially explains me writing this... because I don't want to do homework. I was in class today for six hours. During which there was a constant conversation between me and my brain. It went a little like this:

Brain: ...zzzzz...

Me: Brain! Wake up! We are in class. You have to pay attention so you can remember this later.

Brain: Yeah right. We are in LDS marriage and families class. Like you will even use this information with your track record...

Me: Yeah your right. Never mind. I'll just put my head down.

 

Time elapse...

Me: Brain. We have to pay attention. This is french class. This one matters.

Brain: You didn't even do the reading last night. We don't know what they are talking about.

Me: I know. But we have to make the professor believe we did the reading. We're sitting on the front row for heaven's sake! 

Brain: Just give up. There is no hope for you. 

Me: Yeah... You're right. I'll just put my head down.

Time elapse...

Me: Brain! Read the board - does it say that we have a chemistry exam on Friday? IN TWO DAYS!?

Brain: Yup.

Me: Brain! How could this happen? We haven't payed attention the whole last two chapters!

Brain: Deal with it.

Me: Yeah... You're right. I'll just put my head down.

Time elapse....

Brain: Why are we even here? We are just watching a movie.

Me: This is French and Italian cinema. It's what we do.

Brain: This is boring. Let's just go home.

Me: We missed the last two classes. I have to stay. Besides, the movie isn't that bad.

Brain: Yeah... actually it is pretty boring. 

Me: Yeah you're right. But I have to stay. Sorry, mate.

Brain: I just want to go home.

Me: I know the mucus and liquid build up in my head makes it hard for you to function properly, but we must stay. 

Brain: In that case, I am shutting off

Me: Ok. I don't even care. Just turn back on so I can walk home. 

Brain: Only if I get to shut off immediately when we arrive.

Me: Deal.

So here I am, my brain caught in the stupor of my illness and my achy body refusing to move. I have a quiz tomorrow, an exam in two days, two papers due on Monday, and no brain, no motivation, and little to no mobility. It's not looking good for me. 

Post Number One

This blog was created the same day I was! ... sort of... just on my birthday. I will probably not write very often, so I apologize in advance, but I will try to write posts as often as I can. 

Good day.
