Currently Listening To: I've Got Friends - Manchester Orchestra
Miles Traveled: 8,009.3 (final number)
Current Location: McAlisterville, PA
And I'm done! I left Ohio around ten, stopped in at W&J, and then drove to McAlisterville. I'll be here until next Wednesday, and then I gotta go back for Parkhurst and ROTC stuff.
I don't know what to say as a final post. It was a great trip and I've learned a lot. I'm tired of blogging. My deteriorating spine is tired of sleeping on the ground. I got some pretty good pictures, and I can't wait to open them up in photoshop. My car has proven to be great. If it was going to break down, I think it would've by now.
I'm surprised I didn't get a speeding ticket that whole time. I'm quite proud of myself.
Uhh what else... I need to make an expense sheet for the Magellan, and make a video for the comms office. That's it! Good trip. Goodbye.
Oh, and my friends and I are planning a trip to Colorado already for this year. I can't wait!

Magellan 2013: Cuyahoga Falls, OH
Currently Listening To: Nothing.
Miles Traveled: I forgot to check. 7,700 something.
Current Location: Cuyahoga Falls, OH
I'm practically done with the Magellan road trip which is sad, but I'm with Connor for the night finally.
I left the awesome hotel in the morning and drove to Ohio. It took forever because there was an accident on 70 eastbound, so I sat for an hour. Surprisingly, I wasn't too impatient, and I just sat and listened to the radio. I got into Pickerington around eight and met up with Casey at Barnes & Noble. We hung out for about an hour and just talked and caught up. I'm going to miss her when she leaves for Spain. The three musketeers are dwindling. :(
The next few days we are just going to walk around and hike and explore. He's going to show me the park and the falls and whatever else. But we are going to bed now, so I'll probably write one more post when I'm in McAlisterville with pictures and that will be it!

Magellan 2013: Fulton, MO
THIS POST IS SO HARD TO WRITE RIGHT NOW. I.E., I'm wired.
Oh, and I'm listening to Bob Dylan of all people.
And I've been doing flips on these two beds. And I've traveled 6,981.1 miles so far. And my current location is Fulton, MO. I'm staying in a kickass hotel. My friend's mom had hotel points, and she hooked me up. It has free cookies. What kind of hotel just has free cookies just lying around? I think they were free. I took them, so they were free for me. I left world's sketchiest hotel this morning and drove to Columbia, MO, with every intention of checking out the college as per recommendation, but I found a bookstore, and lost all hope for the afternoon. They just draw me in and then I'm stuck until it lets me go. I just look at all of the books, I realize all of the things I don't know, and then I decide I'm going to buy every book and learn everything all at once forever. I just keep thinking about how drastically someone could change the world if they knew everything.
Later, I made it to Fulton, checked in, and then went and saw Jobs the movie. Reading Hackers kinda ruined it for me, but it was a good movie and Ashton Kutcher did a decent job. Haha. A decent Job... haha.. Okay. Sorry. Like I said, this post is hard. That's it. I called my mom and she said I need to "put my brain to rest," so that's my next goal. After I read this book and write this thing and do a few more flips and possibly everything else that pops into my head between now and whenever I get tired.
Goodnight.
P.S. It's my last day of Magellaning tomorrow. I'm going to Ohio to have lunch with KC Ortega antes de salir a España. And then Connor's house for a night or two, and then WashPa and then McAlisterville, and then WashPa and school.
P.P.S. Goodnight.
