Welcome back for the second to last daily update!
…
That feels really weird to write out, because it really actualizes the fact that we are almost done with our crazy adventure.
It’s strange, because we’ve been doing this for a month now, but it sort of feels like we’ve been at it forever, and also like we’ve only just started.
Stick with us for this day and the last daily update tomorrow (just a little bit longer guys)
Anyways
Now for the daily update:
The song of the day was Devil Town by Cave Town
The cheapest gas price: 3.19
The most expensive gas: 4.49
Signs and such
DO YOU?
Middle child of the day:
Miley Cyrus
"my parents didn't pay enough attention to me so I caused problems so the mainstream media would"
Applesauce joke of the day:
- tbh we didn't eat any applesauce today because just like sandwiches, we are sort of tired of them.
And now the daily update (Not much to report for today but there are friends to talk about)
We got up like 8:30 ish today
And yet again today’s reason for getting out of bed was seeing friends
We got moving a little slow, but we did get moving
We got all packed up and ready to roll
And we found water in the car!
That was very very exciting
We mapped for Aislinn’s house with the understanding and knowledge that we would be getting to eat real food with her :)) Elena was very very excited this morning to get to see Aislinn again before she goes to ROME for the Fall term
Elena mentioned in distress at least once a day on this trip that Aislinn isn’t going to be on campus in the fall
When we arrived
It was honestly so very exciting
Elena basically bolted out ot the car and half tackled Aislinn
It was amazing, instantly just so excited to be alive :))
Aislinn made us curry udon which was heavenly and phenomena and amazing
And we talked about her summer and her experience at a Japanese summer academy as a TA and RA
Lots of 問題、選択の問題 and some ヤバイ moments
After we helped to wash dishes (we had to, just like what we did when we had dinner with Aislinn at the ARC house during the school year!!)
Elena took some pictures of the cat, and he was good for a little bit
But was relatively uninterested
Aislinn showed us her POP! collection and then Jess and Aislinn freaked out about Marvel and the X-men for about 30 minutes (it was a lot of fun to watch)
After all of that, it was about 2:00 (but we managed to avoid the rain storm)
And we gave hugs and headed out
TO WASHINGTON AND LEE!! We are going back to school a little early, but its like the prelims before we move in for real in like
Three weeks…
We are also seeing Kayla, Kelly and Georgia tonight which is so amazing and yay for friends
WE are BACK in the land of SHEETZ!
We have missed you Sheetz
Lexington is so close
But one bummer is that the gas price continues to rise…
Elena has learned all of the words to Welcome to The Internet
Jess can die happy now
We have accomplished the main goal of the trip
We made it to LEX
and wow, have we missed this place so much
it really finally sunk in that we did this trip, and that we did like a big adult thing
We ate some pizza which was cool (its amazing that we only ate pizza like four times on this trip)
and we hung out with Kayla and Georgia for a little while
and then Elena decided to walk around campus and take pictures
while Jess and Kayla went to go take care of a bunny
by the time Elena got back, everyone was watching a movie and generally just having a great time
which was cool
we haven't watched a movie since ironman 3 and that was a while ago (Texas maybe?)
anyways
Tomorrow we head to DC and then we head for home
this is quite literally the home stretch
we are so close to completing this crazy journey and it really only sunk in when we got to campus
because campus is home 2.0
stay tuned for the final update of the entire trip!
If you decide to become a witch in training
do it by a seaside town
save a blimp
make some friends
Kiki and Jiji
