Well, I’m going down the road on I-95, so obviously there’s no WiFi available. So I’m writing this on Microsoft Word, but I’m going to post this online as soon as I find some WiFi.
We’re still in South Carolina right now. We just stopped at McDonald’s for breakfast. It’s about 8:00, so I think we’re making pretty good time. We have a little less than 30 miles before we’re out of South Carolina. I ended up going back to sleep after we got on 385. I slept the whole way through Columbia, which is surprising since my dad was driving. But I kept waking up and going back to sleep hoping that the next time I looked at my phone, I would have a text message from John. I miss him like crazy already. I wish he was here with me. He gave me his bottle of Fierce cologne, and I’ve caught myself smelling it already. You would think I’m going away to college for four years or something. It’s just a cruise. It’s just a week. I guess I’m just disappointed because this vacation didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to. And I know Michelle couldn’t help losing her job, but still. That’s basically why I’m stuck sleeping on the pull-down-from-the-wall bunk bed in my parents’ room. Kellie couldn’t afford to go, Anna just plain won’t go (in fact, I’m pretty sure she could care less about doing anything with me, let alone a cruise), and my parents wouldn’t let John go. And that would’ve made everything perfect. But I’m secretly hoping (well, secretly as far as my parents are concerned) that next year, for John’s 21st birthday, we can go on a cruise – just me and him. I know right now it’s a long shot, but I think we could make it happen. We’ve just gotta buckle down and get serious about school and make sure we obey my parents’ every little rule. I’ll even go to the main campus at Tech next semester. Well, no I won’t. But it’s a nice gesture to think about. My mom tried to tell me last night in the middle of yelling at me that she’s making me go to the main campus or the Simpsonville campus for school next semester to get me away from John. But that’s not fair. It’s college. It’s my choice. When she can earn my nursing degree for me, and when she starts paying for tuition, then she can tell me where to go. But as long as I have my scholarship, I’m going where I want to go.
Dude. This part of South Carolina stinks. And my orange juice is getting hot. Oh well. And only 5 more exits until we get to Georgia. I’m sure I can keep typing until then. I keep seeing signs for Shoney’s. I love Shoney’s. I’d like to stop at one on the way home. Maybe. My dad’s in the back seat snoring, but I might have to wake him up so I can get the power adapter for my computer. There are a lot of palm trees down here. It’s nice. I can’t wait to see what Miami looks like. I bet it’s beautiful. I just wish John could see it with me. The whole time I’m on this cruise, all I’ll be able to think about is how it would be if John were with me.
Welcome to Georgia.
Well, I guess I’m going to go. To tell you the truth, I don’t know what I can talk about for the next hundred miles or so that we’ll be in Georgia. But if I think of anything else, I’ll be sure to post again. And I might even get to post tomorrow. Who knows.
Happy travels, y’all.
