Roadtrip: Day 11

Another Hampton Inn, different location. Four hundred miles away from last night, we are now residing in Hagerston, Maryland. But we almost weren't staying here. The bitch at the front desk insisted we had to be 21 to check in. We told her we had had no problems up at the Marlboro Hampton the night before which prompted her to hit up the boss. Sure enough, the boss said it was cool and told her to stop being such a tight-ass (presumably). As we were walking away, she snidely said "No parties" which prompted me to cry (once safely out of sight) "Yeaahhhhh partyy!!!"

Well, we aren't partying. I think we're pretty partied out from Canada. But we are havin a good time. We ordered Italian food that was delivered to the hotel, and now we're watching American History X. A very chill night. 

It's going to be weird coming home tomorrow. It will be good to be back around familiar people, but it was great to get a break from all that familiarity. I was becoming way too dependent on it. I think that's partially why I am looking forward to college: I'll get away from the people I've been around my entire life. Don't get me wrong, I love these people. But I know that if I really want to grow, I have to get out there and meet new ones. It scares me, but I think I will thrive once I am thrust into it. And I will be literally THRUST. August 15th, I'll be shipping east to Wilmington whether I like it or not. 

But for now, I am still on those roadtrip, and I'll enjoy the last few hours on a Hampton Inn pillow, eating chicken parmesan and pizza, drinking coke, feeling like shit physically, and loving life.
