giant bin of shin ramyun

I was going to write something deeply personal here but I just don't feel like doing any more of that tonight. I do feel like I should mention that Tae Shin and posse are taking his Jeep Cherokee (with freshly-replaced fuel pump and front suspension) on their Big West-Southwest Road Trip tomorrow morning. They're camping their way through Oregon, California and Nevada and won't be back till September 12th. Don't ask me how a car full of international students is going to hack it out there in our great national park system but they seem quite confident. No doubt they also do not understand the blistering heat and possible dangers they will be facing.

But.

I'm still horribly jealous. How lucky they are to travel to other countries and then go camping and driving all over them on their own! Here I am stuck making $8/hour not 80 miles north of my birthplace and they're 3000 miles away from home taking a road trip. Sheesh.
