I sit on Erin 's bed next to Petunia the cat. Petunia is probably my favorite Augustine cat although it 's just so hard to pick favorites. She has the cutest orange and black pattern. Not that Charlie and Rosie aren 't cute but they 're both so mean to Petunia, she 's old and weak and her purr is the most adorable noise and she never tries to hurt them but they always attack her. The only sound is the sound of Erin typing on her computer. Our paper is due tomorrow and neither of us have started, as usual, but the difference is she always gets them done, me? not so much. I definitely have to get this one in on time though and hopefully I 'll get a good grade. Erin says she still has work to do after she 's done with the paper, mandarin work.

My map doesn 't have nearly as many pins but someday I hope mine is covered with all of the pins representing all of the many experiences I 'll have. I always said "when I travel to new places I 'll want to try all of the new foods without a doubt." I went to Spain last summer, and boy, there was a lot of doubt involved when it came to trying new things. I wanted to be more open to now experiences but I just couldn 't, I mean the size of those shrimp things, I don 't even know if they were shrimp, but they were huge. Our cousins took us to a restaurant right on the beach after a nice relaxing day and ordered us some paella. It wasn 't too bad but there were 4 or 5 gigantic "shrimp" sitting on the top. "Try it," they said "It 'll be great," they said. I didn 't believe them and passed but my mom tried it. It was a no go. I wish I had tried it because even if it wasn 't that great, I could at least say I did it, at least say I tried. I 'd like to believe that the next time I go away I 'll be more open to trying new things, and eventually I 'll get used to trying new things, as if trying new things isn 't even a new thing anymore. I don 't want to miss out on amazing new experiences just because I 'm "nervous" that 's no real excuse to skip out if you ask
