no. 5

So I'm a good week into my stay here in Switzerland. It's really interesting and I'm growing to like it a lot more. Michèle and I were talking yesterday after lunch about how close everything is... for instance, Italy is 2 hours away and I can see France from the deck. It's so crazy to think about that. I'm probably going to be going to Milan sometime soon because, well, I can!
I've been thinking a lot about my future lately. As some of my closest friends know, that's sort of a big deal. I never think that far in advance. But anyway, I'm actually thinking of going back to school. I want to be engaged in discussions about something to do with literature or the politics of society. I'm not positive on where I want to go specifically, or even if I want to go back to school as soon as I get back to the States, so really who knows what will happen. It's just an idea or two.
In other news, I am seriously craving my ukulele. I had absolutely nothing going on last night and all I wanted to do was play. It was a perfect night to sit on a bench outside and play my baby uke looking over the Swiss Alps. I should have brought it on the plane with me, but my mother insisted it would be too much. No, not really. But oh well. I'm just anxiously waiting for it to arrive via La Poste.
I don't do anything in my free time. I should be traveling, but every morning I have to do stupid little things. I want to be in Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, Milan, anywhere in Europe.
