dreams in the mist
So-- I don't know how many of you know this-- I've been thinking (thinking HARD) about spending six months to a year during my undergrad period (most likely junior year) studying abroad-- in Britain, specifically. I did some research today, and there look to be some programs which will work in terms of both cost and credit for my degree. I've asked my parents about this before, and my mother looked me straight in the eye and said "Absolutely." That's one of the most encouraging things I've heard in a while. So basically, this idea I had-- which sort of evolved into a dream-- is a viable possibility.
I cannot describe how exciting that is.
Not many people get opportunities like I do. I'm a lucky person-- really lucky-- and this sort of thing just reinforces that concept. I want to take advantage of the chances I have... not just sit here in Oregon until I'm twenty-three. No. I will take my life and I will DO things with it; it is my belief that experience and skill are the only true currencies of life. To that end, I seek my dream.
Six months-- a year-- in Nottingham, or Sussex. Being there, learning and making friends and having a life. To you I may sound overexcited-- I'm sure it will seem mundane and I'll want to come home, by the end of it-- but right now even the thought is awesome.
Screw cynicism! Cheers to the future!
