Wanderlust

My exhaustively annoying yet very talented grade twelve English teacher taught our class never to start an essay with a definition.  I'm about to piss her off. 

Wanderlust:  /wändərˌləst/

A strong desire to travel.  Example: A [wo]man consumed by wanderlust"

I have got this.  I have google self-diagnosed myself with this condition. 

Fuck doctors and differential diagnosis, I have this condition and the only cure is.. 

more cow-bell.  I kid. It is not a cow-bell, oh no people it is either marrying a pilot, 

quitting my job and work with Air-Canada (sarcastic "Oh yay") or win big.  

Yep, I have got the wanderlust.  How can anyone not want to see the world? 

I mean I know people may not have the means nor the time but how can anyone

not have the desire? I chalk it down to straight curiosity. Did it kill the cat? 

It has not killed this kitty yet but it has taken a huge kitty bite out of my wallet. 

Can't we live off of hugs in this world? Or at least obtain plane tickets with them?

No? Okay then.  

So how did I Dr. House this one out?  What was my "apple falling on my head" 

moment?Well when you work like crazy, save all the money you have made and not 

purchase new shoes or that new awesome make-up from Sephora, no, instead you 

spend it on a one thousand and seven hundred dollar plane ticket(s) 

I figure something must be up.

See people, I view it this way. All the time spent with dying patients, piercingly 

arrogant doctors and annoying office politics is amazingly exceeded by that second it 
takes for you to realize that you are viewing the breath taking mountains of Ha Long Bay.
That single moment.  

Yup, all worth it. 

Home for a rest,

N.
