- What am I doing here??
Yes, okay it is so odd that I am here, and last week I was just in my room in Versailles, reading a book and eating a sandwich and at a bar talking with one of my French friends. I was in Versailles for so long that I had to call it home for awhile. I think I would still get that comfort feeling that one receives when going home after being away if I were ever to go back to Versailles. It is not foreign to me, or at least as much foreign as it is here. The huge stores, the huge cars and roads, we live an insane lifestyle compared to the rest of the world. I was speaking in French to myself the otherday, yes it was odd, but fun. Im starting to miss it. See when I was there I was away from everyone that I know here. I was thrown in this bubble almost, because I had 38 other Americans of my age. So we got to know eachother quite well. too well yes. but then I had the world. well at least Europe at my reigns. Any voyage was purely up to me and my bank account. but that seemed bottomless due to my gracious parents. It was an adventure everyday, for the very reason that I knew that I could encounter something new that day, something I have never seen before. Routines did not last too long. And my head kept thinking and wondering. I do not think I lived a euro lifestyle, I lived a lifestyle of some young American studying abroad in Europe, traveling and making the most of everyday. The lifestyle is what I miss. I hope to be able to carry it through with me into what I call a new phase of my life.
