Freedom!
12/21/09, 8:30 am
I’m a free man! Officially, my first contract for Carnival is over. In a few hours, I’ll be on a flight headed for Denver, Colorado, and then I’ll be getting on a shuttle van on my way to the resort! I totally slept through my alarm this morning, and the immigration staff called and gave me 5 minutes to get up there. Then I got up there and waited for another half hour. I love hurry up and wait! I got to say goodbyes to the guys in the band last night. I bought everyone beers and listened to the guys play one last time, then went to finish packing. I had to sit on the suitcase to get the zipper to close, but I finally got it! I’m currently sitting in the coffee shop taking up one table, two chairs, and my bags are blocking the only multi-plug outlet in the whole place, so hopefully I won’t get hassled too much. I fly out of Long Beach around 12:30, and I plan on getting to the airport well in advance to avoid crazy holiday travelers. I’m prepared to watch the entire Scrubs season 8 on DVD while I wait in airports today. I’ve already watched the whole season twice in the past six weeks (Thanks, Mike!) but it’s so good. I love that show!
A big thank you to all who have been keeping up with my life for the past six weeks via this blog. Next chapter is Colorado and spending the holidays with Emily and her family. Don’t worry, I’ll be heading home to SC in a few weeks to see my Mom and Dad. I’ll also be auditioning at USC for graduate school (this doesn’t mean I’ll become a football fan – GO CATS always!!!) Happy Holidays to all! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
And, Go Cats! Beat Clemson! Let’s get 4 bowl victories in a row!
