So I had a relaxed weekend, just counting down the days til I say goodbye to San Diego and start my trek cross country once again… Getting alot of advice from people as to when to drive, what I should be doing this week to prepare, what kinda stuff I need to do for my car, where I should stop, how I should pack my car, etc… Definitely going to be a tough trip esp. on my own. I figure to go to Barnes & Noble to get some audio books to keep me company. I think I will pull over a few times to catch a little snooze, but I just feel like I will be a prime carjacking victim if I dont play my cards right. I think I want to do the bulk of my driving at night time since I tend to get in my own little zone while driving at night as opposed to during the day. I kinda prefer the silence of the night, though I have to make sure I have enough windshield washer fluid because there were definitely alot of bugs that love to splatter themselves on my windshield while driving through Kansas… but at least I dont have to deal with the boiling heat. I remember when I drove from Maryland to San Diego 2 years ago we ran into some heavy hail, dense fog in the Grand Canyon, and I had some bird decide to end its life by flying into my car. So hopefully I will have less stories on this trip

This is gonna be a crazy week for me with a few coworker functions and then all culminating to my last weekend here in SD. I dont think I want to do the E Street thing this weekend, so we shall see what winds up happening… maybe people can come over the apartment or some coffee..
