"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" -Jack Kerouac

Monday, we started our events for Roadtrip Nation. Our first event was at Cal State Fullerton. We drove our huge RV up onto the student quad and set up some easy-up tents, some tables, and commenced the day of spreading the good news about Roadtrip Nation. Tuesday we were at The University of San Diego. We did the same thing, simply trying to make students aware of the amazing opportunities that we provide for them. And tomorrow we will be at UC Irvine. There are so many colleges in California it seems, maybe cause the state is so damn big. The events are definitely tiring, being in the sun all day, on your feet, interacting with students all day. But it is so worth it. Luckily I am obsessed with people, and thoroughly enjoy having conversations with new people from different places. Some of these campus events include classroom presentations and film screenings, which are always an interesting experience. 

On Friday evening we will be embarking on the journey, officially hitting the road. Our first stop is Austin, which is just a meager 1,300 miles. The trip will take a couple days, no doubt, but should be a barrel of fun. 

Can't wait to start updating from state to state.
