I hope I can complete this post without network interruptions..

so these past few days (or the past month to be exact) have had some really great moments and some really bad moments. Like a shower that is cold and hot from one point to another. I guess that most people have this kind of periods in their lifetime. At first you panic, then you try to deal with everything and by trying things get done. Doing things under pressure should make you proud if you manage to achieve them or makes you feel like shit if you cannot deal with them. For me so far it seems that I am still in the middle of everything. I hope i can make them work in the end..

I' ve also had a very interesting conversation with the taxi driver that gave me a ride to work this morning. This guy had travelled a lot. He studied tourist industry in Canada (I don't rememeber which of Quebec or Montreal he told me exactly) and seemed to travel a lot. He had even worked in Ghana for a cloth industry! How bold and courageous of him. He loved good music and watched a lot of musicals in the theater. He had watched West Side Story and Singing in the Rain in a theater here in Athens and was so amazed by it that he started talking to me about the show.

After the ride I was thinking to myself that travelling is the one thing that I would love to do the most. I would be very proud of myself if I could travel from one country to another and live there for a while. But not as a tourist. As an immigrant. Imagine meeting all these new people and interacting with them. Trying to communicate and become friends with them. If I could make it under such circumstances, I would be able to make it under any circumstance. I would try to learn the culture and the language of each place. I would be full of life experience! Will I ever make it? I don't know. Will I ever try? I don't know either.
