Conversation from the front passenger seat on the ride home. AI-generated illustration.

  • Today was the second day of the Dallas trip. We had naengmyeon and boba before heading back home.

  • We also stopped at Buc-ee's during the trip. There was a lot of driving over the two days, roughly eight or nine hours altogether, but talking along the way made it feel shorter.

  • I was in the front passenger seat and stayed awake talking with the driver. I didn't want him to spend the whole ride just being the driver.

  • I really liked the city feel of Dallas. This trip made me realize how much I prefer cities to the countryside.

  • After getting home, we went to a study space together. We were pretty locked in, so we barely talked and mostly did our own work.

  • It was tiring, but I enjoyed the trip a lot. The people who had felt unfamiliar at the start felt much more familiar by the end.
