Chaps's Pretrip "askdjflaksdjf" thing

This is Will Chappell, i.e. Chaps. I suppose that from this point on out I will post under that name or whatever. Summer has been great for me so far, went to New York, Boston, and Maine, about two days after school was out and just got back last night at around 11:00 p.m. so I'm pretty exhausted but I guess that will make me more fun.
Sitting in the Atlanta Hartsfield airport last night, all alone, I started to do some reflections on what this trip meant to me and all of that good stuff. Looking at all of the materialism surrounding me I realized that within a matter of days I would be thrust into the world where many people make under $10 a day. That's not much money in a year and I'm very interested to see this. I know all of the culture will be excellent and all of that and I'm really excited to go south of the equator for the first time ever.
As I said I was on planes for like 5 hours yesterday so I'm not looking to squeezing my 6' 3'' frame into another one of those seats for a long time, or the interminable layover in Miami, looks like 7 hours (!), but I am incredibly excited to depart on this adventure with everyone from school and I'll see you at the airport tomorrow morning at 11:30.

P.S. I've raised all of my money so Mrs. Flynn and Ms. Workman, rest easier tonight!
