ahaha

So my first post was written 2 years ago and so much has changed since then. I really can't explain how much has changed in my life and in my personalities and the opportunities that I have been given.

This blog is titled Mai's Tour Ramblings and funny who two years later I am going on tour! With my idol! Ben Kweller! It is pretty rocktastic. (ok..you'll probably encounter lots of cheesy words on this blog because I am a cheesy person). I will be Street Team coordinating (I just receieved over 800 applications in just 9 hours) as well as selling merchandise and getting paid to travel the country (and hopefully the world). wooooo. I guess this is a way for you to share in all my adventures along the way..I promise to update more than once every two years.

Taking a leave of absence from school has been one of the toughest decisions of my life. It means leaving everything I know. A routine, my friends, school (which I do actually enjoy) and all the committments I have invested my time and energy in for the past 2.5 years here at Bentley. Sometimes I feel so selfish about it and I tried really hard to come back and pretend that once I got back into my routine the offer of touring wouldn't be so appealing anymore. But fighting that urge to experience my dream was too hard for me to ignore and eventually, with the support of my Professors, advisors, and eventually my friends I am on my way towards an experience that few 20 year olds get to experience. I hope it is everything I hope it to be.
