Because of Lucy
“Abby says I’m stubborn, playing hard to get. Whatever. Why would I open myself up to him again? I’m keeping out of all things male and all things student. As originally intended.
The bookmarks tab on my laptop grows daily with Internet research on backpacking. By my calculations, I should have enough money to go by spring. Six months. Half a year in my call center life pains me but then I think some people will always work there. I’m lucky to have the time and opportunities I have.
I scroll through one of my favorite blogs, read an update on the girl whose adventures I’m following. She’s in Australia and the place looks amazing. The huge blue skies above her contrast with the gray evening encroaching my life from now until spring and I sigh. Six months. Maybe I should start a countdown. Create my own blog.
Someone knocks on the door and voices carry up the stairs. I glance at the clock. 7PM. Around the time Abby goes out.
