Lovely, 3

The silence of the mountain can only equal itself to the unrest akin to the sea. You long for one and I for another. I am drawn to both in equal measure.

Lovely, 2.

I have been two weeks in Germany. A part of me is thrilled to know people and learn from Berlin. Another one wants to go home tomorrow and forget about this mess.
The program I started this week is off to a slow start. By slow I mean one day of class, little to no organization and a lack of north. I came here to learn and to be better for my country...not to learn ways to cheat a system, to be frustrated with so many processes and to find the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I thought of Europe as a way to save myself and to be better. It is and then it isn't: it is less than just a fairytale, more like an actual dream come true. It involves sacrifices and rude wake up calls. Being tired and cold and hungry. Homesick.
I decided to give myself some time, but to give time time is also a luxury: there is only so much time that is truly precious.
The adventure is just one part of the spectrum. The rest is just life, and how to get through it.
