take a trip on a train
Beautiful 10 months ago

Great experience. I hate flying. I get incredibly anxious, woozy, and my ears don’t take well to the pressure changes. Plus I always wanted to see the country via train. After deciding to go across country for school, I figured it’d be the perfect time to take a train. I’ve taken the trip by train four times now and will continue to do so. Great when you want a nice, leisurely ride with some beautiful scenery. You meet the most interesting people that way, as well. It’s rather lovely.

Bathrooms are pretty miserable but it’s a small price to pay for a nice trip.



learn greek
Here I Go 10 months ago

Perhaps it’s a bit early to say I’ve started on my journey to learn Greek, but in a way I suppose the journey begins right when you make the decision. I have a couple methods I’ll be using, namely internet based. I’d love to purchase Rosetta Stone, but it’s very expensive and I’m quite poor.

Why Greek? Well, why not Greek? I’m not of Greek decent and I don’t know anyone from Greece, but it’s like an obsession. Culture, history, landscape, music, food. It’s a place I’ve always wanted to see and experience. Eventually I plan to get myself there somehow, and if I know the language then just maybe my experience and immersion into the culture might be that much more profound.

Beyond that, if I learn this language, it’ll be something that I can look back on and say, “I did it. I learned Greek.” I’ve had classes in other languages before. I could pick up some of the basics, but it’s always been hard for me. So I know this will be exceedingly difficult. Perhaps that’s an even greater incentive.

So, here I go.
