I put my plans down on paper

Yesterday, I sketched out my travel itinerary with prices and stops so there wouldn’t be any surprises; I also called the hostel and made a reservation. Now I just need to wait for my paycheck and head toward my destination. The total cost of the trip, including lodging, is 35 euros, which is pretty cheap…

And I worried for nothing—even though THEY weren’t exactly eager to let me go, I got permission, and they brought up my past failed trips, but everything’s OK, and I’ll make sure nothing bad happens so I can set off again next time…
