Well, guys, I figured that I should revamp my website again, and I've been having fun reading people's blogs every so often... So I've decided to create my own blog of craziness! Welcome to my life's new home. I must warn you, there is not much to me, so you will probably get bored... But, perhaps, one day, it might become interesting, so you'll have to keep on reading. Forever. And ever.
Anyway, so it's the end of summer. School starts on Wednesday. I'm sort of excited... Actually, I am excited. Unfortunately, I don't think that I have any classes with my friends; however, that just means that I'll have to meet new people, and make some more friends... which is something that I'm very happy to do these days. I mean, after you get over the initial nervousness of talking to someone new.. or calling someone... (yikes!), then it gets to be fun. There is so much to learn from people, both about oneself and about the world...
Some of you are probably wondering how my travels were. They were amazing. I got to go to four different countries, and got to meet many new people. Some of whom I am still in contact with, but most of whom I just remember fondly. It is quite difficult to keep in contact with people, I must say, especially with language barriers. However, I can say this much: if both parties want to stay in touch, they will. One of my best friends and I just passed our 5th anniversary... We got to visit each other this past summer--that in itself was amazing, and the fact that we still talk to each other is a further testament to our friendship.
So much else was brilliant about this trip. I learnt a lot about myself, about other cultures, and about my family. I don't mean that in a cheezy, Dr. Phil way, but in a more thoughtful manner. I honestly am only realizing how much I learnt now, and I think that I will notice it more as this year progresses. So much has happened this summer....
I am only anticipating with eagerness the results thereof.
