Anyway, I am assuming you all remember when I left in the beginning of the summer for my 4 weeks of backpacking through western Europe. Anyway, I returned and 2 weeks later I left to Baja Mexico and I've been working my way south. Either way, I missed my move in day to USC, so I think I am going to take this year off from school and just travel some more. Anyway, I am leaving tomorrow from Guatamala to Los Angeles via plane and than I am catching a plane to Boston, I am going to go storm chasing on the East Coast. If any of you remember I told you all that I am a huge surfer, anyway I plan to surf the Charly storm that is moving north. The rips are gonna be amazing, so I am hoping that I might finally get an upgrade in my sponsorship for surfing. I've always got free equipment for surfing but I never got paid for it. I am hoping that this storm might be my oppurtunity for a living. A friend of mine is coming to record me, he is a great artist and camera man. Anyway, when the storm dies which should be in 2 weeks I am going to northern eastern Europe and working my way south to Greece. Prague, Budapest, Bucharest, a bunch of places are in my plan, mula will be short but I am sure I'll pay it off. Plus I could just hit up my parents that I am sure are so stoked to hear from their son that still have no clue that I am planning to take a year off.... /sigh wish me luck.

If any of you are wondering about why I am posting this, here is the reason.
1) Make you all jealous
2) Give you something to ready
3) Hope maybe someone woud be in eastern Europe when I'll be there


Anyway, best wishes and I'll write agian when I am in LA and than when I land in Boston. Thank God I have friends in both places...

USC has a lot of incoming freshman, they always let current students take a year off. They just postpone your current payment for the upcoming year. Anyway, I called my parents and told them whats up. They didn't take it to well and they aren't giving me any money, but they are letting me do it. However, I have to start school at the beginning of the 2nd semester I can't take a year off, so my eastern Europe trip will be shorter than what I hoped for.
