Road Rage

I have a problem. I tend to get a little... lets say excited when I'm driving. Actually let me preface this by saying, I am the only person in the world who knows how to drive. The ONLY person! When I do something on the road it is perfectly acceptable, if someone else does the same thing they are obviously idiots. I've always had this problem when I drive, even in Washington where there aren't nearly as many motorists as say... Southern California. My road rage has gotten out of control since I've been here. The things I yell at the other drivers don’t even make sense any more. The weird thing is, I'm a very calm person, I don't get angry very often and I hate yelling and for the most part I avoid confrontation. But for some reason when I am behind the wheel of my truck, I am ready to scream at whoever is going .5 mph under the speed limit and sit fuming until I get to my destination. Most people with road rage yell and then take some drastic move to get around the problem, but being a Washington driver I'm used to a more timid way of getting around so instead I just yell and then wait for a safe opportunity to legally get around the target of my fury. I think I need to either take it to one extreme or another, if I'm going to freak out its time to really freak out and veer all over the road like a true Southern Californian, or I could just relax when I'm driving and give up the whole ulcer inducing, stressed out yelling that I do. Hmm.

Spring Break

Spring Break used to be a time of the year where I wanted to go somewhere crazy, some insane beach in Mexico covered in bikinis and MTV camera crews. I wanted to go wild, to be one of those kids, but tragically I think I'm getting old. I just realized that my roommates have been trying to coax me into going to Mexico for two days. The have to CONVINCE me to go be the wild child I always dreamed I would grow up to be! But I'm tired. I'm exhausted, right now to me a good time sounds like sitting at home watching my planet earth DVDs and sleeping approx. 23 hours a day. I know it’s so lame, but I'm exhausted and with my big Euro trip looming in the future two days in Mexico is almost laughable. Wow I just sounded so snobby, but when you are about to spend 2 months in Europe a dirty weekend dodging all the crazy stuff that happens in TJ just doesn’t sound like a great time. So I’m going to catch up on rest, work every day and save money so that I can be that wild child when I am in Europe (sorry mom).
