Yay!
YOU ARE THE TRUE HOGWARTS CHAMPION
How I did it: I drove by myself, first to California to visit my friend Natalie, and then on the way back to Texas I stopped in New Mexico to stay with my aunt for a few days :) I'm too lame to really sum up how amazingly cool the entire trip was, but it was I tell you. Pictures to come in various places, including FB and my wall.
Lessons & tips: DON'T LET ANYONE HOLD YOU BACK!! If I had listened to certain people around me I'd have never left the house for anything except my previous job that sucked all the joy and happiness out of me that it took a huge road trip to recover and I wouldn't have had an incredibly amazing experience seeing so many places and things I'd never seen or experienced before. It's your life, not theirs, so do the positive things you want to do!
Resources: Confidence in myself.
