Will my life be adventurous, studious, stressful, peaceful, will I have learned more, travelled more, loved more, experienced more.... I know that I need to keep my eyes from ( Read more... )

I really do love America... I never thought I would as much as I do... I think that the people in California are more similar in culture and personality than Eastern Canadians... so I feel so at home here!
