It was kind of amazing.
But watching this movie [that I had anticipated on coming out for a substantial amount of time before] got me thinking about movie-going with friends while I'm abroad. Do they even go to the movies often? Or is it that they just wait, or don't even value movies very much? What if they don't like movies, and it turns out that they value something much more intellectual, like chess or something?Turns out, I wasn't even thinking about movies to begin with; I was thinking about the culture shock in general. How will I adjust to the drastic change not only in the atmosphere, but with the people around me as well? I feel that it won't bother me, but I just hope that I comport myself so as to avoid embarrassment.
But we all know that that just isn't going to happen. I can't go even one day without embarrassing myself. Today, for example, I ran out to grab some coffee and get out to study a bit, and I'm almost positive that people around me thought I was falling apart. A huge gust of wind had blown, leaving my hair disheveled, my shoe became untied, and I tripped over some uneven pavement; in trying to gain my balance, I tripped on my shoelace that had inconveniently decided to untie itself. But that's not all. The icing on the cake was that I had already bought the coffee, which I then proceeded to spill all over myself when I tripped on my shoelace.
How am I going to survive in another country if I can't go one day without accidentally killing myself?
Well, until I come back to the U.S.
À bientôt!

ReplyDelete2) You'll be fine :) everyone is pretty much human in the end
3) So this is not "Ian's Fast Shoelace Knot", it is in fact, mine and my sister's that he stole from us, but here, learn that and your shoes will never come untied again!
4) I want to see this windswept disheveled hair on you ;)
