On the Road
Hi! I am currently wiriting this from I-35 between Austin and Waco, TX. How am I accomplishing this, you ask? Well...the answer is via Fuji's Satellite connection with Verizon Wireless! Seymen brought a special wireless card with him for our road trip. We have internet connection in the car!! What an excellent way to make the trip home!
Anyway, Seymen arrived on Friday night with no problems, no delays! (Amazing right?) Saturday morning we gor up and cleaned my apartment and finished up there...dropped off keys and ran errands until noon, where we met Shelly, Jamie, and Janet at Chedder's for lunch. It was fun, but sad because I had to say goodbye to Janet. Afterwards, Shelly, Jamie, Seymen and I went to Fry's Electronic to check it out :-) We spent a good hour or maybe two...I bought a new game cube game - Charlle's Angels, and Seymen bought the Penn and Teller Bullshit DVDs. (Which I didn't think I'd like but they are very amusing and interesting).
For dinner we went to Tracy and Ozans and shared some Sacconi's pizza. It was fun, and Ozan showed us pictures of the "bathroom" in the airport of Sybieria! (He's been there!!!) It was a really nice way to my last night in Texas. Afterwards, we hung out with Jennifer and Li Wei. Seymen did some computer work while Jennifer and I sat watching and laughing.
This morning, we went to Jims for breakfast (which Shelly and Jamie introduced me to a few weeks ago) where we ran into...SHELLY and JAMIE! Can you imagine??!? :-) Anyway, I think I shocked the pants off Shelly when I walked oup to her table :-) But it was awesome to see them one more time, and they were able to meet Jennifer and Li Wei. Turns out that Jamie works for a Twianise (speilling?) company here in Austin, that Li Wei and Jennifer are familar with!
So, it was sad again saying goodbye to Shel and Jamie again, and then a little bit later I had to say bye to jennnifer and li wei. But we had decided to not say goodbye, so we just hugged quick and Seymen and I drove off...
So...10 minutes into our road trip I had to pee...What else is new? We had a fun adventure finding a bathroom in time...but we found one and each bought a pair of cool sunglasses. Again, we headed out on the road, and another 15 minutes later we were pulled over and Seymen got a speeding ticket. :-((( 1 down, 29 more hours to gooo!
Poor Seymen. I felt really bad for him...but he's not as upset now because he thinks that he won't get NYS points with this ticket...just have to pay $$$. So, we just passed the 309 Mile marker. I guess I'll sign off now because I have nothing else new...But I'll be on again, as we drive, just because I can! :-)
Oh yeah...Did I tell you that I'm so sad right now? I am really going to miss Austin, and I really made some GREAT friends while here. If this past week was proof of it?!?! I spent the week visiting each one of my friends every night! So now I'm sad!!! Because we all had so much fun together...So, to all my Texas friends that are reading this: I miss all ya'lls already...
