Right now is kinda hard. I know Reykjavik is the perfect city for me and I love it here already. However, its hard to sleep when I know my dad is leaving tomorrow and after that I’m on my own. I don’t have any friends here, I don’t know where to hang out, what to do, or how to speak Icelandic. I know it will come in time, but the next morning I am going to wake up completely alone in this country. Its kinda a scary thought. This is going to be one of the best times of my life though. I can tell. I just can’t believe I am actually doing this… I appreciate now how hard it must be on my friends who hate traveling much at all. All I can do from this point forward is dive headfirst into my life here. I have to say I am pretty proud of myself for being able to do this, because its definitely not easy and its definitely not something just anyone can do.
I probably looked as wide-eyed, fresh, and artless as any other student. But I wasn’t. One of the boys I went out with, and they were really boys, once asked me to go to Paris with him. And I told him I’d love to. I was dying to see Paris. As if I’d never been.
