Good Quoate

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. 

- Mark Twain

Ready to GO!

I'm so ready to just get on the move! 

I've been shopping and gettin ready for a while. Just bought some books for reading when I get there. 

Including: The Republic by Plato, 

Ancient Athens on 5 Draghmans a Day

Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae

The Lonely Planet, Greece. 

I'm not a big reader so I think that should do me in for the summer! 

You know its interesting when I tell my friends about my plans for the summer everyone is almost always like oh wow that is so awesome I totally would love to do that some day. And it always gets me, like you know if its something you really want to do, why don't you do it. Thats my thing, if you have something that you've always wanted to do, no amount of money or lack of timing should keep you from just going out and doing it. Life is way to short to put things off, people have told me that I should just wait till I get older to travel, and my answer is why on earth would I want to do that when I can go now when I'm in the prime of my life now!? Its now I can go explore and not have to worry about how many steps a place has or if I'll tire out before the trip is over. 

So a word from me to everyone, What on earth are you waiting on?! You could get hit by a car and be paralyzed tomorrow and never get an opportunity to go do the things that you've always wanted to do. I don't care if its that you've always wanted to write a book or that your like me and have always wanted to go someplace, just DO IT. Don't wait! I know that when I'm laying on my death bed I want to be able to look back and think that I did absolutely all I could while I'm alive on this earth and thats my plan! 

Stay Classy,

Evan

Greece in 3 weeks, Can't WAIT!

Alright, its still 3 weeks till I hop on a plane for the biggest adventure of my life. I have a very very long list of things to do before I leave, but the one thing that I cannot put on the back burner is school. I've got 1 more calculus and 1 more economics exam due before finals start and its so hard to focus on school now, my mind is already in Greece. 

I'm working on the rest of my list of things to do as well. As of now I have to:

Get my International Drivers License

Get a digital camera

Make sure I have ample clothing and everything

I am going to be moving into my house on campus as soon as I get back so there is a lot of planning and what not for that before I go.  

I'm still just more than excited about this and the end of the year needs to hurry up!
