Procrastination at its finest

Maybe I should write that freaking long paper that is due tomorrow, or go clean the bathroom, or read some of Dante's Inferno, or study for biology.... or maybe I could blog instead!

At the beginning of this year I had to read St. Augustine's Confessions for one of my classes. There was a classic quote in there that really struck me:

"The world is a book and those who don't travel only read one page"

Following this I read Eat, Pray, Love. For those who haven't read or heard about this book, it is about this woman who decides to travel the world after a devastating divorce to find herself. She visits Italy, India, and Indonesia. This novel inspired me.
I want to TRAVEL! I want to experience the diversity of culture, food, music, climates, cities, towns.... the list goes on and on. I want to follow Augustine's advice and read the ENTIRE book, not just sections, pages, or chapters.
