Here I am, 255 days until the race, sitting in my school library, wishing and trying so hard to bend the space-time continuum. Have you ever seen the NBC tv series Heroes? Well, I'm not a TV watcher, but if there's one show that I really like, it's heroes. One of the characters in the series is named Hiro Nakamura, and he finds out half way through the second episode in season one that he has the ability to bend the space-time continuum. He's not that great at doing it at first. He finds out that he can teleport himself to different places, and also to different times. He accidently teleports himself to NYC a few months into the future and sees the whole city in ruins. Exasperated, he tries frantically to get back to his life in Japan, but to no avail. He meets Peter Petrelli, whose power is to absorb the powers of others, and Peter warns him that the city of NYC is going to be destroyed and so Hiro has to teleport to find Peter of the past to tell him to save the cheerleader, save the world.
I don't know if any of that made any sense, but the whole point of that explanation is to show you how BADLY I want to bend the space-time continuum. If I could do that, I would teleport myself to training camp right now. I would already be done with all my midterms and my finals, then I would teleport past Christmas break, and past the spring semester. I would pass over my college graduation – because when you can teleport, everything still happens, you just don't have to go through the pains and struggles of passing classes and studying through the night for exams.
So, there I would be, future me, getting all packed up for training camp. I would have my huge backpack, my two-person tent that will hold my gear and myself, my comfortable mattress that will be my bed for 11 months, and my comfy sleeping bag.
That was a fun daydream.
But here I am, still, in my school library. The bell just rang for 11:00, which means I just missed the beginning of chapel. As hard as I try, I still cannot teleport. So, I'll keep working on it, but in the meantime, I should get going. I'll keep you updated on the process of my teleporting/ bending time-space continuum skills. One day I think I will be able to be just like Hiro Nakamura.
