we want the funk
so im leaving for quite some time in 43 hours. theres so much i want to squeeze into my life. every day the list gets bigger. i want to move to argentina for a few months just to learn to tango like a pro. i want to move to israel and learn my tongue. i want to farm and feel connected to land. i want to roadtrip america and meet people to have some sort of understanding of who america really is, adverts aside. I want to join a band and sing the blues for a while. i want to write a book. i want to walk over mountainous paths and cross rivers over and over until i really know a place. I want to live with no frills. and yet i want to live to be a fashion diva. I want to do stand up. i want to build my on house and all its furniture. I want to solve problems that affect people's quality of survival. I want to speak many languages. I want to be in love. I want to be independent. i want to stay intimate with my family and have thanksgiving dinners with them. I want to have friends i can depend on ad have loads of fun with. i want to be well read. i want to play the piano well. i want to be humble. i want to understand quantum physics and make discoveries. I want to walk with god. I get urges all the time to do such a variety of things.
but i know im not going to do all of them. i hope i can commit myself to whatever i choose so that i forget about my other teenage dreams and feel fulfilled by what I am doing, and when im no longer fulfilled, can not feel trapped enough to move on.
i also hope i can find someone adventurous enough...but que sera, sera
i think this semester i want to focus on mandarin and race. i bought a book about prejudice and i think it will be interesting to examine nationalism as it affects ethnicity. then when we go to the yunnan province i will have some theory to refer to and a curiosity strong enough to lend direction to my independent study. I want to make my independent study far more useful this semester. more tangible.
i also want to find my niche in hangzhou quickly. take classes of some cool sort and get to know the city and te hotspots so i dont have to dick around, feeling lost for weeks.
estimates of capitol punishment in china on the higher end reach 76 per day.
but i suppose i shouldnt stuck my nose into that.
gotta get packin.
