(no subject)
It's September and I'm excited and scared all at once. It's like starting a new school year, except I'm a little more apprehensive and a little more excited. And I'm not starting school, but saying that reminds me that I have to start researching grad schools. Anyway, I leave for Europe in 2 days. I'm traveling to Frankfurt with my grandmother, where she will be met by my uncle (one of her sons) and accompanied back to India. After I see her off, I will set off on an adventure for about a week, traveling around Europa... by myself...
I know/hope everything will be fine, but I'm just not used to doing anything by myself really. So I'm excited about that. And it will also force me to make friends with other people. I'm ok at that, if it's a situation where everyone is up for meeting new people, like in the dorms. However, I'm just going to be backpacking around. (And I have yet to get a backpack.) It's really hard to do anything spontaneously and without a plan; at the same time, it's rather difficult to make plans, like booking hostels and buying a train ticket. Sometimes the biggest blessings can be the most stressful.
On a side note: My parents are looking to buy a new car to replace my 17-year-old baby (but the car isn't necessarily for me). So we were car shopping today. At the Toyota dealership, the sales manager was being kindov a jackass, since we asked him for a price that was apparently too low. So he asked my dad if he believed in profit. My dad answered (the guy was Muslim) that yes, the Prophet Muhammad is a good man. I thought my dad was answering his stupid question with an unrelated answer, but apparently he heard the sales guy say, do you believe in the prophet. Which made it even funnier. The End.
Wish me luck!
