[a day]
This post is for Becky, who reminded me that there is a reason to write.
It seems that I haven’t written here in a long while. I think that the reason for that is that I haven’t felt as though my life is interesting since I left the road. I’ve been back in the same college town I was in before, and I lust for the road with unquenchable thirst. That part of me is locked up for now, not seeing things. That part of me will have to wait for now.
I feel that there are some things that I may have forgotten to mention in previous updates; fragments of experience that were relevant and have changed the currency of my world.
For one, the car I drove back from Wyoming was apparently in enough disrepair from the elk that I probably forgot to mention hitting that my insurance company claimed it as “totaled” and paid me only enough money for me to lose about 2k on it. However, after much moving of money and conversation with my parents, they agreed to help me pay for a much more reliable 2006 Honda CRV, which is my current mode of long-distance transportation.
More recent events include my decision of my future degree, which will be that of Anthropology and Drawing. As much as I adore the Photography program here, it is simply too expensive for any use to me, and drawing is cheaper and one of my other artistic passions. Also, I am enjoying my time in Athens far more than I was last year, and I am glad. And I’m learning Russian.
One thing has been bothering me very much of late, and that is the infrequency at which I click the shutter button on my camera. I purchased much camera equipment, but have not given myself up to using it enough.
I promise to update more often.
