after a year in europe, what did i learn?
-i learned french, at least a little bit. i could get by and have a average conversation.
-i learned a bunch of varieties of cheese.
-i learned that a lot of places are the same. a lot of places just felt the same. florence felt like lyon, paris feels like nyc, some of the outer neighborhoods in paris feel like some of the neighborhoods in chicago. i’d like to adventure to asia or something to see if it still holds true. now, more important is the people in the places i go.
-i’ve learned time moves really really fast. i shouldn’t waste so much lounging around. at least not lounging around by myself
-if there’s something to be done, start right away.
-it’s best to be home, its the most comfortable.
-at the same time, its good to get out of your comfort zone. basically, this year has been like that and i feel a little more confident after it all.
i came in to this year not expecting anything. i wanted a year in europe and i got it. actually going through it though was a fun ride but could never be repeated. it will stay with me forever, as my mom keeps reminding me.
