Diary Entry: December 2, Age 16

As part of my Advent Calendar project, I am presenting actual excerpts from my actual teenage diaries!

I’m bored. With life. I would love to go somewhere exciting. Not necessarily “new and different,” but just exciting . I’d love to go to the Midwest right now (run away), and just have myself an experience. Wow — just book myself into a tacky Holiday Inn and see what happens. Or go back to England and check it out on my own. JEEZ! I think I’ll do that! Take off a year before college and travel. I’ve always believed that textbooks on foreign places can go to hell — just GO there! Yeah!

    How fun are you and your Advent calendar?!

    If I weren’t in such a funk I’d want to do the very same thing. But I’ll lean on you and your Advent calendar this month instead. Thanks for holding up the fort!

    p.s. Did you ever “just GO” to Europe before college?

    You’re not the first friend to admit to the “funk” this month. Holidays = challenging! Hang in there!

    I did not “just GO” to Europe before college but I went to England a few times during and after. And I never checked into that tacky Midwest Holiday Inn!

    Which level of hell would the textbooks inhabit?
