I've spent this last year pouring over every detail of my future plans, how to navigate college, how to break into my career, what direction I want to take my career, backup plans, further education. It's been stressful.
I plan to dedicate my life to work. For science!
Dare to judge?
So getting my mind off of all that, I'm just doing a fun journal about the places I want to go, the things I want to see (no matter how strange), and yeah. Enjoy, or not.

I want to see that. I want to be were it all more or less started for him.

Lewis is not the only island I want to visit, I also want to see the Isle of Skye, Harris, and Hegg.
For instance, this is on Hegg:
So yeah... a couple places I want to go, and a couple things I want to see.
