My feeling towards the whole adventure thing

Right now I feel all weird, kinda like none of this is ever really going to happen, but then again I know it will. I feel really bad for my friends, especially Matt, because both me and Jaret are leaving at the end of the year. It's going to be fun to see Jaret in New York, my parents told me that we might see him.

I think it's going to be really fun to be CFO (Chief Financial Officer), as CFO I will have to manage our budget. Just last week-end I got to be CFO for a little three-night trip to Paris, it was hard work, making sure we got a receipt for everything, and if not, to remember how much it was. In the end I think it was a good experience for me, because it really helped me to get an idea as to what I will have to do in the real trip. Plus I got an idea of how much things cost in comparison, which led to quantity over quality, or vice versa. Think about it -- a crepe on the street is about 3.50 euros, whereas an indoor one is about 7.30 euros. I think the indoor ones are more expensive because of heating costs and the chairs. But for some reason the crepes on the street taste better to me, I think this is because in the cold Parisian weather there is nothing like a crepe to warm you up.

To sum it all up; Being CFO is going to be a blast. I know it is a big step from a little three night trip to Paris to a year long experience, but I think I'm ready for it. I might not be eating crepes, but I know there will all sorts of awesome stuff to eat along the way.
