I decided that despite the fact that I am broke and am in no way deserving of a vacation, that I would buy a plane ticket anyway and go see my best friend from college in Washington State. I had a week off between summer classes and a pretty flexible schedule. By being willing to fly on a Tuesday, fly a red-eye and have stop overs, I managed to save a lot of money on airfare, and fly for about $300 round trip including tax, which is not that bad for this time of year. The trip was wonderful; it was so much fun to see my friend and Washington is really beautiful. Everywhere you look there is water, trees and mountains. The weather was really nice (cool and not humid) and Bremerton, where my friend lives, has a newly revitalized waterfront district that is well worth seeing. I would recomend it to anyone!

So when I was in Seattle I went to a park and wrote when T had to go to work. I ended up writing more in 2 days than I did for the rest of the summer combined. I feel succesful and optomistic.
