My Brain: Psst, Laurel.
Me: Yeah, Brain?
Brain: This time next week, you’ll be in… AMERICA!!
Me: OhmygoshI’msoexcitedI’mgonnaseemyfriendsandfamily–
Brain: –Whoa, whoa there. Aren’t you forgetting something?
Me (nervous): Something.. not awesome?
Brain: Yup. You know what it is?
Me: Can we play the “ignorance is bliss” game now? It’s so.. blissful!
Brain: Sorry, no. You really need to finish cleaning.
Me: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
