Twenty months......twenty months I have lived abroad. I now have many friends asking me, 'why?'. 'Why are you leaving?'. I miss my home and it's time to face reality I say. I have made many friends that I will never forget, I have learned more about myself in the last year than I could have ever done with so many distractions in America. I strive to become respectable, someone who has control over his impulses and vices. I read on occasion, exercise regularly, I am engaged in daily international news by the basis of personal interest as opposed to being told to by a professor. I think the time has come for me to take more visual steps on my growth now. When people ask me about my plans when I move I simply shrug and tell them I plan on moving to Portland. After the repetetive interogative, 'why?', I respond by painted a mental image on the greenery of the Pacific Northwest and the free-thinking enviornment that is as comforting as a fleece blanket on a cold morning.
I have some ideas on what jobs I will take when I get there though my mother persists on informing me of the lack of opportunities and of course she thrives on reminding me of the dismal weather in the reigon. I have full confidence that I have the experience and persona that attracts interviewers. Not only is it my charm and leadership ability that gives me these ensuing carefree emotions, but I also have my salary standards set quite low. ^^
I am unbelievably excited for my next adventure, it stirs in my mind almost constantly. In four months or so I will be home visiting long lost friends and shortly after I'll be blazing my own trail in my much missed Honda on a sure to be spiritual highway journey to Oregon.
