Road Trip Wednesday: Graduation


Source

It's Road Trip Wednesday, a "Blog Carnival" hosted by the lovely ladies over at YA Highway.  They pose a weekly reading/writing question, and through the comments, you can explore and find out everyone's take on the topic.

This weeks question is...
How did you spend/will you spend the summer after graduation?

I spent my summer after high school working.  My life wasn't as exciting as your typical novel.  I use this excuse a lot, but I'm going to blame living in the country.  Doing anything requires driving somewhere, which can get tricky.  

I have bigger plans for my  university graduation, in two years.  After finishing school, I have at least a month before convocation, and a bit longer before I can write my licencing exams.  So I'm going to Russia.  I've always wanted to go, and I can't think of a better graduation present to myself.  I don't know where in Russia I'll go, yet, or who I'm going with, but I'll be going.

Much love, Samantha

  1. Cool! I didn't travel nearly as much as I should have when I was at university. I hope your plans for Russia work out for you, Samantha! :)

  2. Nice! I hope you get to go to Russia. :) I live in the country as well so I understand using it as an excuse.

  3. Very cool. Definitely take the big trip when you can; once you lose the flexibility of school and work full time it's harder to take vacations like that. Visiting Russia sounds fascinating.

  4. Russia would be a pretty great place to visit after grad. And not like the typical backpacking across Europe kind of trip. That's a pretty great incentive to get through the next couple of years. :)

  5. How awesome! I'd love to go to Russia as well since it's part of my ancestry. See if I can get anything for family trees. :)

  9. Have an awesome time! I've been to St. Petersberg, Russia, as a stop on a cruise once. Went to the Hermitage (the winter palace) as part of a tour, and it was absolutely beautiful.

  11. That's an awesome goal! How exciting for you!

    My husband desperately wants to go to Russia one day--he did a concentration in Slavic Studies in college--but I'm gonna hold off until they're a bit more politically stable. I'm a scaredy cat traveler :)
