One last run...

The closer my flight date gets, the odder the sensation of leaving feels. Deciding to do a study-abroad was pretty much "yes" from the second I was informed of my brother's own study-abroad. I didn't really know what to expect, or even if I would enjoy it, I just knew I wanted to go. And boy am I glad I did because I have honestly had the best five months of my life traveling, seeing ancient ruins, making new friends, learning new cultures, etc. I realized just how little I knew of the world and just how complex and unique the whole world really is. Its still amazing to me, that I can travel a mere two to three hours, and be in a whole new world complete with a different language, different weather, different people, different everything! The idea of different in America doesn't entirely have the same meaning as different in Europe. In America, we have different states, different areas of the country (like New England, or the "South"), but everybody is still American which means the same TV shows were popular, the same video games were popular, the same music was popular.

I could ramble on and on and at this point I've somewhat forgotten what my whole point in starting this entry was. When I remember it, I'll continue, but with time still running, its time to hit the bed.

P.S. Hey Niskayuna, I'll be back in town from June 4-9 and then from June 14-19. Try and catch me around cause even if I haven't contacted you while I've been overseas it doesn't mean I don't want to see you. Peace.
