Hello everyone! I just wanted to say sorry, once again about the lack of posts through out my stay in Europe. Perhaps it was the lack of internet access or amount of activities I was doing was making it nearly impossible for me to post anything. I did write some posts in my journal and in word documents so don't you worry. Many, many stories still need to be told!
So I still need to post about:
- Interlaken
- Siena/San Gimignano
- Viareggio
- Rome
- Prague
- Berlin
- Amsterdam
- Paris (Round 2)
- Budapest
- French Riviera
- Croatia
- Corfu, Greece
- Venice, Italy
- Sorrento/Capri
- Rome (Round 2)
- Kamatriades, Greece
- Last Days left in Florence
So I am hoping to post something new every other day. And each post will be dedicated to a certain trip to give more detailed adventures and more amazing photos! I will also be revamping my profile to make it more up to date and modern. And once all my stories of all my adventures are told, I will continue this blog and sharing all mycurrent adventures I will be having! So many things to do in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as travel all over California and perhaps jump the boarder of this awesome state to other ones and perhaps I will be traveling to near by countries such as Mexico and Canada? Who knows where the wind will take me, but I am excited and motivated to never take anything for granted and enjoy every second and take as many opportunities as I can get.
Just a little update on my life so far!
So I am living back home and have officially been home for a week. Lets say culture shock isn't the correct term I would use to describe the process of adjusting back to normal life. Nothing really has changed so nothing was new to really adjust to but the ability to talk to english at restaurants, bars and stores is an amazing feeling and not feeling guilty if you do is also a great feeling. Being able to lazy around is another plus to being back home but I think that comfortable feeling is only going to last so long and soon enough I am going to want to go out and constantly do something. And I am starting to feel that now. Being at home, doing nothing, is mighty depressing compared to the life I had for the past 4 months. I didn't realize how much more fulfilling it is to out and about all the time instead of being lazy, spending all my time on the computer and watching movies after movies after TV shows. So I think once I arrived back home I slowly got back into the same habits that I had before I left for Europe and that is not going to fly. So my goal for the next few weeks is to manage an appropriate amount of R&R with and appropriate amount of fun/productive activities. Thats going to be a whole other journey but I've got the time, energy and motivation to do so. I am also going to have to get back in the same workout routine, I've already worked out 3 or 4 times since I have been back so I don't think that is going to be a major problem since I think I am addicted to the gym, in a healthy way of course. I did gain some weight while in Europe but I think that was expected but surprisingly my endurance is better then ever so cardio exercises are an easy thing to keep up with.
In more exciting news, I officially have graduated from my Junior College, walked and everything. The ceremony was actually not that bad at all and we missed the rain by a good 30-40 mins so, that was a major plus.
I received a A.A. in both Humanities and Art History and got honors in both as well. I think being a student at Junior College for about 5 years you would expect more then one A.A. and honors, or at least hope for it. And you ask what I will be doing now that I am all finished with Junior College? Well I have a good response for that, I will be attending University of California, Berkeley! CAL is one of the best schools in United States, let alone California so I am very excited to attend such a prestigious school. I am actually not attending till Spring 2012 so I will have a whole semester off. But don't worry, I am sure I will have some very exciting plans to fill in all that extra time I will have.
Well now its time to be productive and to enjoy the day. Another thing I am slightly disappointed is the weather we are having here in the Bay Area. It is pretty much June and its raining, cold and just plain gross. I thought June was supposed to be warm, sunny and the start of Summer not a recreation of Winter! Oh well, c'est la vie!
