i have realized that seventy percent of my thoughts surround leaving this place. i am not satisfied with my life in west michigan, and i definitely cannot be asked to return to detroit. not only do i want to leave michigan, but i have decided that leaving the u.s. is basically the best course of action.
i live for all things international: accents, international students, esl students, international culture-based organizations, foreign languages, food, social issues, music, films, clothes, dancing, study abroad stories, and ANYTHING not american!
i miss europe so much and any connection to that or the idea of international living/travel in general immediately excites me. in the presence of non-natives, i feel like a kid in a candy store. i don't know where to begin, so i just sit there with a big, creepy ass smile on my face, stumbling and staggering as i try to verbalize the 525600 questions that just simultaneously entered my brain. all the while, all i really want to do is beg them to leave their american obligations and take me back to their home countries.
i must get out of here...NOW!
btw. i have a peace corps interview on thursday...please send me happy, happy thoughts and wishes!
