Vous parlez francais?
No, but Im trying to learn. Its just that i dont understand why if I study and i know everything I should know when I go to class and the teacher asks me something I go blank. I hate it, specially when my 16-17 year old classmates look at me with that "you are so stupid" face thinking they are better than me. Ahh, whatever I dont really care what they think, Im just upset at myself. Anyway, today as I was in class I realized it would be so much better if I had someone to practice with instead of just "speaking" french on saturday morning but as I know no french or canadian people thats kind of hard. So I thought what I should do is get a job and go to live in France for some months, as an au-pair or something like that. Of course I have no money but maybe if I get a job here NOW and save all of the money I get I could go by the end of this year. One can only dream but I really want to do this, also it would be great to have a break of university. I told my mom about it and she seemed to be fine with it (she never cares, she probably thinks I'll forget about it in a couple of weeks and get a new dream). So I'll see what I can do about it but who knows, maybe je vais habiter en france cet annee.

The World As I Know It
So, I guess for a person my age I´ve been to a lot of places but then when I look at this map I realize its nothing compared to what Im missing. According to this website I've only visited 5% of the world. Im not as naive as to think i will be able to travel EVERYWHERE but I hope before I die I can say I have visited all continents. In the meanwhile my short time goal is to go to either Africa or Asia before I'm 30. That gives me 10 years to work hard and get on a plane. But then I also want soo bad to backpack through South America that I might do that instead. Who knows, I just think that I should travel as much as I can while Im young, then work hard and then travel again when I retire. Nice dreams...who knows what life has planned for me.
