I am a little late with this blog but this past week has seemed to fly by. Also this whole experience is starting to be a fast blur. It seems like yesterday I was meeting Christina in the airport. I am worried that next time a blink my eyes I will be in my living room looking up at a Christmas tree. In fact I have the most mixed of feelings. I do miss my family and friends however, I do not really miss much else, except the Mexican food.
This past weekend I journey to Nice and Monaco. It was a nice little trip and I could tell post of the beautiful beach or of the extremely rich in Monaco but seeing as how I spent around 24 hours on a train I will talk about that. I love riding the train, perhaps not for 24 hours, because I love to just stare out of the window watch the world pass me by and think while Conor Oberst sings a ballad in my ears. I was thinking about my future and what I want to do. Not just which grad school or law school I want to go to but things like where will I live and other future adult things. Then I thought you cannot really plan anything but your next step. Then that decision will lead to your next. The Art of Travel talks about Van Gogh going to the south of France to paint even though his brother urges him not to go and to stay in Paris. This one decision really made him famous, of course not in his lifetime. Most of his famous painting came from him going to the south of France. So I thought, maybe instead of trying to worry about everything in the future I will just take it one step at a time.
