Disclaimer Alert!!!!!

So I know that the address for my blog looks like Kotlarek Swings, HOWEVER, I just want to clear the air and state that it is really meant to be Kotlarek’s Wings. I wasn’t able to use punctuation in the address and didn’t realize what it actually looked like. So no judging. And I don’t swing.

Wow. First entry. Saying goodbye is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done. WTF am I doing!? I’ve just left all of my friends and family behind for a year to drive around the country in a pickup truck!?!? I know that in order to feel the joy and ecstasy of hello, you have to say goodbye, but I don’t approve. I’m going to arrive in Missoula severely dehydrated because I can’t stop crying and they don’t let you carry your own water bottles on the plane and the ones in the airport cost $4.00!!!!!!! Ridiculous. I’m done, that’s my little rant on the stupidity of airline regulations. I feel like I’m going to vomit. Boo. It’s just nerves. Ick. I hate waiting. If this entry gets dumb, it’s purely because of the fact that I’m bored. I really wish that your loved ones could still accompany you to your gate to say goodbye. Although it was good to just get it done with. It was like ripping off STITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boo.
Thanks Dad for the first class ticket. I had a wonderful chicken Caesar salad for lunch while enjoying my cushy leather chair that was actually wide enough for my butt. During take off we came up through the clouds and I said to myself in my head, “ It’s like Narnia!” Don’t judge . I talk to myself all the time and usually it’s out loud so I was lucky that that particular phrase was in my head. I just finished reading all seven Chronicles of Narnia and was a little disappointed at the ending. (Don’t worry if you haven’t read them I won’t spoil it) If you haven’t read them you should because they are really good books and really quick reads. If you don’t like fantasy, cool, never mind. I love clouds. I wish sometimes that I could fly and then when I got tired I could just curl up in a cloud. You know like the Zeus character in the first Fantasia movie? Nice and soft and squishy.
So day one is almost over and everyone I’ve met so far is really cool. There isn’t an internet connection in the dorms where we are staying so you’ll have to bear with me as I find random internet connections. It’s funny you don’t know how much you use the internet until you can’t use it. Guess where my first tour spot is. I bet you never will. Where’s the one place I didn’t want to tour? You guessed it The MIDWEST. Our first stop is FARGO NORTH DAKOTA!!!!!! Boo. I’m bummed. The rest of our tour is in Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois. Luckily that is just for the summer. Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, I will be touring somewhere a little more interesting come fall. Not that the Midwest isn’t great, it’s just that I live there and would like to explore a new region. Also get this. They’re putting us up in the dorms and we have a sink in our room. Cool, no problem there. But, when you go to the bathroom lo and behold….no sinks. They just have a little dispenser of hand sanitizer on the wall. WTF? If anyone can explain that to me, I’m listening ‘cause I don’t get it and it’s weird.
