Coachella- YES!!

I spent yesterday afternoon mostly contemplating whether I should spend most of my money and try to tag along with my friend and her group.

The selling argument went to what a couple I know told me about a month ago at a restaurant. They asked why I never took a study tour while attending FiDM and my response was I didn't think I (I mean, my parents) could afford it. They all told me it wasn't about the money, but about the experience of visiting and exploring a foreign country and how it could change you as a person. I shared my fascination with a man who recently walked across the U.S. from Rockaway Beach, NY to Rockaway Beach OR and posted pictures of the places he traveled and the people he met on his blog imjustwalkin.

So I thought, I've got a garage sale coming up, I can make some money; I've already started looking for a job, hopefully I can get one to help pay whatever else I'll need that weekend of Coachella. Isn't this the kind of thing I'm supposed to do at my age?

The other reason I decided to go was because I really want things to change this year. I want to be DOING things, GOING places. I want to be experiencing new things.

I was excited about my decision. So much so that I dreamed of going last night and I woke up a six this morning out of my dream's excitement. I couldn't fall back asleep because I was already awake, so I read in bed waiting for 9:55 to come around. Five minutes before tickets go on sale. I made sure I was prepared last night with setting up an account on Coachella's website. I stared at the time on my computer waiting for 9:59 to turn into 10:00. It took maybe three minutes before I could select my option to buy a ticket. I read everything carefully and twice to make sure it was 100% correct, printed my "receipt" and was filled with excitement! I called my friend up while she purchased hers and couldn't believe I am physically going.

I'm so excited and so looking forward to having a great time!!!
