I seem to feel something different everyday. At times I am itching to come home. At others I am rushing to book flights all over Europe, writing down all the places I want to see, wanting to find something different without having any expecations of anything. I am so far away yet still so intertwined with my University, emailing teachers, planning the second year of the Vagina Monolgues, applying to graduate, registering for classes, figuring out when I'll move into my apartment (I'll finally be living completely alone) figuring out whether or not I want to enter a master and phd program or simply go into a credential program. This is supposed to be my time to relax and instead I'm even more aware of reality and my obligations. It gets hard sometimes but then I somehow still keep going, still keep getting on flights, still keep pushing myself to go further, to see more, to be more lost and in those moments I know this is exactly where I am meant to be.
Over the next 2 months I will go to Prague, Paris, Venice, Rome, Amsterdam, Granada, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, and Warsaw. I will be taking a 6 hour tour of the concentration camps in Berlin (completely alone) and then heading off to see my Nana who I haven't seen in years and hopefully make my Polish as good as it once was. Ill be home December 15 for my 22nd Birthday, then I'll head up north to move into my apartment, then I'll come back to LA, spend Jamie's birthday with her, then fly to Chicago to spend New Years with Audia, then fly back to LA to spend time with mom, and then move back up north for good. Somewhere in the midst of all of that I have to edit my thesis, take more credential exams, prepare for a final 19 unit semester of my undergraduate career during which I am considering playing basketball again, which will be followed by a graduation, a trip to Israel, a summer school class, and hopefully some great internship. Okay, I'm exhausted thinking about all of this.
Back to my life here, I will teach English at 2 different high schools starting next week. I am very much looking forward to that. Teaching people language is beautiful.
As far as school goes, my classes leave much to be desired. Italian is the only one that gets my attention. The other classes...well... Goal for life: Learn to be successful in the areas you don't like. Mission: Failed. I haven't changed too much in that area. But it is only 2 months into this whole adventure. I have some time left to do a turn around... perhaps.
Lastly, in case this isn't apparent to everyone... GO BARACK! VOTE FOR HIM! DO NOT FORGET!
