Strange Thing Called Life.

I can feel myself falling into the rhythm here.
The language is coming along. Slowly, but everyday I learn and can speak and understand more. I'm so excited to finally speak.
Everyone is nice here. I was worried about school, but there was no reason. Everyone is very nice to me, and they ask me questions and things like that.
I think that things are starting to calm down, which is very very good. I am still exhausted most the time, but the coffee is good and plenty, and now I have some time to catch up on sleep and think about some things.

What I've done is so crazy. But from the beginning I wanted to do it. I know I can handle it, and that I will love it and grow from it, and even though right now it is hard, it will get better, and I will learn a language, and a new culture and new people, and be busy. Which is what I love.

As most young people, I am antsy, curious. I want to see the world I live in, and I want to know it. I want to look at a map and know what the people in any country are like. Not because I learned about it from a book, but because I was there, and saw and felt and tasted it. Only then will I know that I've lived my life. When I can say that I know the world I live in. Even though we are only here for a short time. I want my time to be spent learning about people, and what they do and create, and how we are different and the same.

Going away from my home, for the first time, alone, will allow me to be anyone I want to be. With that opportunity, I will find who I am. There are no pre-conceived ideas about who I am. I am me. Only me, and I dont completely know who that is, but this is a huge step towards knowing. I'm excited about what is to come.

We should not be confined to the small worlds that are our homes. All though there is a time and a place for home, there is also a time and a place for expansion. I needed to see. Just see.
who I am, what I am, and where I am. We are so small. yet, in ourselves, we are able to do so much, and understand and help and change things.

I want to change things.
I want to learn
I want to have this strange thing we call life down pat.
