Little Rock: not worth it

April 23

On the road again, but this time to Little Rock, AR. Another fun-filled eight hour drive through middle America. Luckily for us we avoided all the fires that were ravaging Texas, but there were crazy tornado and storm warnings in Arkansas. Roomie and I were both running on about three hours of sleep so when we weren’t driving we tried to take a nap. It turns out though that when your car is so full of stuff, you can’t lean the seat back even a little bit, it’s hard to sleep, so neither of us were really rested. The scenery was beautiful; lots of lush trees and shrubbery in varying shades of green. We were staying with a friend from college and he lives in Conway which is a tiny town outside Little Rock. As we were getting ready to go out in the oh-so thrilling city of Little Rock, I started to not feel so well. I figured I just had a headache from all the driving and lack of sleep, but then on the way to the city I started to feel nauseous. I realized that I had a migraine. For anyone who has never had a migraine, you are so lucky because they are horrible, awful things. So instead of hanging out with the delightful people of Little Rock, I spent the night lying in the back of our friend’s car while everyone else had fun. We finally went back to the house and I fell asleep without talking to or meeting anyone. Roomie informed me the next day that Little Rock is pretty boring so I took comfort in the fact that I didn’t really miss anything.
