I've been meaning to change up this theme or start on a new one from scratch for quite some time now. The only part of the equation I can't seem to put together is enough imagination to come up with a clean but unique theme that doesn't murder your eyesight. If I don't have time to update my blog while I'm a student...what? :P Sebastian: I know, I know. I’ve been meaning to change up this theme or start on a new one from scratch for quite some time now.

If I don’t have time to update my blog while I’m a student…what? :P

It's just a matter of me finding the time to get one done and the creativity to come up with something original. I might go ahead and tone down the white to a soft gray in the meantime to cut some of the contrast out, though. :) Sebastian: A new/modified theme has been on the to-do list for a while.

And no, I have no intention of stretching my time as a student out any more than it has to be. ;) As far as your goal of seeing the world, good for you. :) I hope your journeys prove to be as enjoyable and fruitful as you've dreamed for them to be. (Also, the underscores staring me in the face from your comment are making me consider installing the Markdown plugin even more.) Sebastian: Thanks for the advice.

Even though it feels good right now (well, apart from the inverted-back-to-front boxer shorts), it's good to just get it done and out of the way. Plus, then you can begin the whole 'wasn't college great?' reminiscing thing which _everyone_ loves... And of course, you can make money and see the world. Well, that's what I'm trying to do anyway.

Or perhaps in a part of America that I really want to visit (but I can't think of one at the moment... how about Alaska? Hawaii?) Sounds like you had fun tho' -- and hopefully made some good friends :) Maybe the NEXT meet-up will be in London!
