walnut? peanut? hazlenut?

I was browsing through Facebook and saw someone's tagline that said, "Don't pity me, I am exactly who I wanted to be." (or something to that effect)....I could say the same for myself.
Everyone has dreams and goals. Mine may not match yours and yours may not match the Jonas' brothers, but we have them just the same. I have struggled for a very long time with my family, my friends, my teachers, and myself to decide just exactly what is it that I want to do.

In a nutshell this is it:
1. Surround myself with beautiful sounds. Mainly the sounds of foreign language and music. I want to soak in them until they become a part of me. Maybe not French and maybe not Spanish. Perhaps I will learn the language of a native tribe in Africa, or Guatemala, maybe I will finally take on the challenge that is Arabic, or maybe I will just enhance my obvious love of the romance languages. Who knows? Not you, or me. Don't judge. Just love.

2. Travel. I have been to a few places, learned many things, and see even more. This isn't the end of my adventures, but just the start. I don't know that I agree with the phrase, "Live like you are dying." I have been doing it for 23 years, and all I have felt is rushed and old. Pura Vida is a better motto, I think. Let's just live a pure, simple life, and do what puts a smile in your heart.

3.GRE. Please GOD CAN I HAVE A STUDY PARTNER? I have begun prepping for the GRE. I am terrified!! I can't even put into words how scary it is....more to follow.

4. Fall in love....and all the obvious consequences. I would like to fall in love again even if it means I will just fall right back out. It has been to long and I think my heart might explode because of all the love waiting to pour out of it.

That's it. It isn't much, and it might not be what you thought I wanted. Maybe some of it is to vague. I didn't list places, or people, or definites. I am done with definites. I am sailing my own course, sorry if our paths don't cross.
