| I'm a girl, easily intimidated and relatively shy, but with a whole lot of incredible friends despite all that. I went on a foreign exchange to Brasil two years ago, learned Portuguese, and made a second life for myself. A huge part of my identity lies in that experience. Nothing can tell you more about yourself than being really far away from everything you know and love. Ive been back for two years now with the exception of the month visit I made this last July. It seems like the longer Im away the more I think I ought to just pick up and move there. I cant remember why living in a tropical paradise and teaching english didn't sound like a good idea before...but the grass is always greener I guess. Even when it comes to different periods in our lives, its the good stuff that sticks. ...I'snt that nice... Now im a directionless college student, changing my major about as often as i change my socks. The rest of my life sounds like an awfully long time and as the years progress im becoming more and more convinced that i have a terrible fear of commitment. Regardless of whether or not i end up finishing, or actually doing something with my major, i think this is just where i need to be right now. Life will take me where i need to go. |
