Final Thoughts

I've been back almost 2 weeks now, and I wonder how affected and changed I was by my time in Greece. There have been a couple moments when I looked at pictures or something that I missed it and wished I was back, which brings me to think what I want to do with my life. Obviously I want to be a writer, but where do I want to go?
I cannot say that I am particularly drawn to any specific place in the US. I mean that I do not have a specific place that I want to live. Sure, there are a few places I would choose over others, but not because I feel anything for the city or anything.
That brings me to my next thought. I truly do want to go to Australia or Japan. I have already begun looking at programs that help people to work abroad for various periods of time. While I would choose Australia over Japan, I would still love to go to Japan. I am almost certain I will try to do this unless a few small things that could happen in the next year occur, which include getting a very good job or meeting someone that would make me want to stay. We'll see.

I've caught up on a lot of stuff I missed while I was in Greece, and I've watched a few movies. I find it hilarious sometimes when there is a love plot where the two main protagonists who are strangers end up falling in love by the end of the film, which could take place in a matter of days or weeks. I know it is just a film but I still think its too much. This made me think of how much I knew about my fellow Odyssey students. I can't say I knew them too well, but I do like many of them. Will I keep in touch with them? I don't know. I think I've talked more to students from another program more since I've been back than students in my program. Its kind of weird. Again, I will have to wait and see how much of an affect they have had on me.

One thing I truly know is that I am too much into material things. I think that I could easily move overseas with only taking my laptop and some clothes (maybe my Wii), but would I be able to manage not having all my movies and books and my tv. I don't know. I can easily download most of what I get already, but there is something about having the physical objects themselves. I wouldn't actually get rid of them, but I wouldn't have them with me.

I'm going to try and catch up on some major reading this coming year.
And maybe I'll keep writing here.
