"What's your road, man?--holyboy road, madman road, rainbow road, guppy road, any road. It's an anywhere road for anybody anyhow."
- Jack Kerouac, On the Road
In exactly one day I will take a different road. After many internal debates I've finally decided to step out of my comfort zone in Barcelona and go to university in Holland. Everything may actually turn out "fine and dandy"
I'm excited, nervous, but also sad. European Law is what I will be dedicating myself to for the next 4 years.
Ok, enough with the melodramatic notices. The climate here has changed, and as it did, I realized I'm never fully satisfied with the weather anyway. Mid-August I was one of the people whining saying it was "too hot". And now that it has finally cooled down I'm one of those saying that, "it is supposed to still be summer". Despite that, I realized that I've had really good times in both hot and cold weather so it truly doesn't really matter at all.
Before starting a blog I could have never imagined writing random thoughts down. I mean, lets be real: no one cares about how I feel about the weather.
The last couple of days, or weeks for that matter, have been very different. At times I feel like a mature female going through menopauze. Opinions, ideas, feelings, anything. It can change 180º within a split second.
Yesterday I went for dinner in CDLC, one of the best dinners I've had in a long time: sushi, wine, cigarette's, laughs, serious conversations, sparks, dancemoves, and coctails they were all present. I had a really good time, and it certainly will be these nights I'll miss most when I'm in Holland.
Today I ran across the city. I went to school to get my diploma, had a chat with some teachers, and said 'see you later' to Felipe, I'm sure I'll see him again soon so a goodbye wasn't necessary.
The rest of my afternoon was spent with several key people in my life. One in specific. Good times.
I'm excited for tomorrow-
My next blog entry will be more entertaining and not quite so random I reckon - I'll probably write it from Holland..
Remember though; a tiger never loses its stripes..
i'm gonna be commenting on both posts. i'm really glad you chose this path, it will be something new and challenging and in the worst case scenario will make you learn a life lesson. life's comprised of roads, and i think everybody takes a different one at the start of each day, there's just so many options. however, i also know, that when it concerns me, we're both the type of people who will be able to come upon a crossroad and sit down at the gas station café for a drink and some smokes without anything having changed.
