So, what is Contagious? (aka Cali here I come)

Contagious is my personal (albeit online) journal where I can write any interesting thoughts or noteworthy events I may come across trying to get my ass on its way to California. By July of 2012 I hope to be moving into a lofty apartment in San Francisco, worry-free with a job, and continuing my education.

This journal will help me stay focused and track it all.
