By the time this is read by anybody, I will probably already driving to the airport for my trip into the rainforests of North America (which are south of the cold place I am currently sitting at). I'll be studying the geography of the area for my own purposes, practicing my Spanish, and exchanging all of my currency for the local currency in order to more safely barter.

The trip is actually through my school, but being an upper-classman, I'll have a certain amount of autonomy that will allow me to explore as I wish at times. Fun stuff.

Of course, this means I'll sadly have to be away from the computer for about ten days, and I'll miss receiving my third-year Huna. Ah well. At least I hit the big 10,000 before year three was up (a long-time goal of mine). Also, interestingly enough, in my fiscal BZP years, I have made more posts in this third year than either my first or second. (I didn't see that happening since I worked much less posting in the summer than my first year, but my steady 50 posts a week during the past five months have tipped the scale.)

Don't trash the place while I'm gone. See you on the other side of February!
