A pretty big loser
My dad called me today, in the middle of the day, totally out of the blue. We talked for a few minutes, but it pretty much boiled down to this: He told me if I end up spending another spring break at home, by myself, that I am a pretty big loser. I hadn't thought of it that way before, but I totally agreed. My dad.... he's a good guy. He took the rest of the conversation to encourage me to fly somewhere in America and hang out for a few days on my own. Go explore, check stuff out, do my own thing, you know. It was a great invitation, and one I'm glad was given to me. I spent the better part of several hours this afternoon checking out where I could go for how much and what I could do there and stuff. It's pretty exciting to remind yourself just how much is actually out there. I mean, there are so many cities that I've never set foot in. I looked everywhere from Boston, to D.C., to Jackson, to Seattle. I think im gonna end up going to California though to meet up with Maha again. I called her tonite and she seemed pretty keen on the idea. So, there you have it. I'm hopefully not as big a loser tonite as I was earlier today because of all this.

Hey, where could you go. mmmmm... I don't know maybe go see one of my best friends that I haven't seen a long time who might just live in the coolest state in the U.S. Man we could go skiing, you could come see my campus, maybe even meet my girlfriend. I would think this would be a no brainer, but apparently Maha is much more important then I am. ~Toby
I was not implying that you were a loser! I just know that you hadn't commented on any plans so I wanted to encourage you to take a "trip". We had talked about our graduation trip that still may or may not work out. I it doesn't work out I will feel like you passed up on a chance to do something or go somewhere while you had the chance. There is no telling where the summer will take you. There might be a lot of "you" time or you may be really involved in the steps to get you "on your way" in your life.
I also was putting me in your shoes and thinking what the offer would have meant to me when I was a senior. No sense thinking too long since it would have never happened.
Loser? Well, maybe on some days and in most situations ... but that wasn't my message this time.
Hope you enjoy your trip.
