Cara is coming soon, and I'm looking forward to it very much. I don't know what else I have to say about that.

My life, yet again, feels different from how it ever has before. This happens to me every couple of months.

If you are having an instant message conversation with SmarterChild and say, "I am having a paranoid flipout." he just says he'll be seeing you later and stops talking to you for a while.

I think I want to take it slow, make the trip up to Finland in a couple days by train and ferry. It will really make me see and understand how Freiburg down here is connected to Tampere up there to actually travel there by ground. I really appreciated getting to make the entire trip from Freiburg through the Czech Republic and Vienna to Bratislava ( Read more... )

I think friends are friends no matter what language you're speaking in. It's taken me a long time to realize that I'm not failing in some way nor are people necessarily looking down on me or making fun of me if I talk with people in English. I have seen people become friends, a Spanish guy and an Italian girl, when one of them speaks English pretty ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel like life is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book, or maybe a Rubik's cube.

He said it was just a ten minute walk, if we went at his pace. We didn't really go at his pace, though, I ( Read more... )

One week ago at this time I was freaking out being in the front row of a gigantic crowd with Bob Dylan right in front of me, and eight days ago at this time I was basically doing exactly the same thing too. So yeah, I saw Bob Dylan two nights in a row last weekend and it was beyond belief ( Read more... )

A couple days ago an e-mail was sent out to us AYF kids about some job thing, and being in the situation I am in, I followed up on it. I went to this "information session" thing today and basically got a job. It's at this research firm thing where they get contracts from pharmaceutical companies to figure out why the drugs aren't selling as much as ( Read more... )

Wow, I've been gone from LiveJournal for a long time. Most of the reason for that is that I was traveling for almost two months with only sporadic access to the internet. I made one post during the first week of my voyage but ended up just giving up after that. So now here I am back in Freiburg, starting the new semester on, getting back into ( Read more... )
