I am taking a course on language and culture in foreign film; it was supposed to be a linguistics course, but is really far from it. However, the more I am involved in this class, the more I learn about myself.
I really enjoy foreign films, but until recently have avoided them, because no one will watch them with me. I also can watch movies on my own, haha.
I dream of being an ex patriot, but am terrified to move across the state. I get wrapped up in these idealized worlds that I know don't exist. I am facing a possible move that is opening great possibilities, but the idea of leaving my comfortable little world scares me.
I also am a little unnerved by travel that is not in an automobile. I have been in car accidents, way too many. I have been under a semi-truck. I have gotten motion sick more times than I could ever count. My butt has gone numb from sitting. Yet, when it comes time to travel, I don't fly, or take the train. How will I ever travel abroad if I insist on driving? I guess I am just a little crazy!
