Hey from Nashville!! Right now, I'm on my road trip. I have to say, driving across whole states is a seriously weird experience. It's cool to get food, and not be totally sure if you're still in some state or another, but it's annoying to drive for hours and still be in PENNSYLVANIA!! ahh! Monday was the drive to Ann Arbor. I was switching cars with my aunt (because I would have been uncomfortable bringing my own car down). That was a twelve hour drive, and at this point I would like to mention that Becky (who is coming with me on the road trip) did not drive ANY of the way. We left, due to my idiot fault, at 5:16. Which mean that I drove ALL NIGHT LONG. And, to top things off, at around 1:00 a.m., I got a speeding ticket. That was the first time I had ever been pulled over by a cop. And it was an experience I hope to never have again. It was terrifying. Luckily, I don't have any points on my license. But GOD! They pulled me over, asked for my license and registration, and then they made me wait for what seemed like forever. I know they were just talking about what they were going to get for breakfast or something, trying to make me wait and scare me, but god did it work. I was terrified. Anyway, that was Monday. Tuesday was the drive to Louisville (pronounced Loahvuhl). That was 6 hours, but Becky did about 4 1/2 hours of that drive, so I got a much needed break. Today (Wednesday), I drove 3 hours to Nashville. I have to say, I really like it hear. Louisville had too many bugs, but Nashville is great. It's warm, dry (or at least more dry), and beautiful. Tomorrow, I'm going to drive 5 hours Montgomery, and I really can't wait to go. I can see the house of Jefferson Davis (President of the Confederacy)! My sister's not a psyched as me, but I just can't wait. After Montgomery, I'm going to Mobile. I have to say, I probably over-packed. I practically brought my room. I'm so excited to go down there. Wish me luck!
