Life is...all the emotions, all the people you meet, all your regrets and all your dreams come true. This is my life is...well, my life's not boring. It's my experiences and the people that I come into contact with that make my life not boring. Enjoy!
"People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning in life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience in being alive..." ~Joseph Campbell

Habits I've Picked up since being here:
Eating almost always with a fork and knife
Drinking Coke (it's so much better)
Walking everywhere (even places that take me an hour to walk home)
Taking a lot of pictures
Going out with people almost every week
Staying in restaurants or cafes long after I've finished my food (when I'm with people, it's not uncommon to be at these places for an hour or more)
Regularly wearing a scarf
Letting my clothes air dry
Separating trash (we have to)
Watching football (soccer to America, i think the only place in the world that calls it that)
Eating more for breakfast, less for lunch, less for dinner (makes sense when you think about your normal everydaactivitieses; do less in evenings than at the beginning)
Opening the windows in the morning to let in fresh air (yup even now, when it's 30 something out)
Drinking tea

I have no idea why I decided to type this up. Just thought it would be fun, and a further distraction from the stories I have to read for Tuesday.

About me

  • I'm Jason
  • From Marburg, Hessen, Germany
  • Living in Germany right now. Words can't express well or fast enough the experience I've had. I'm enjoying every minute of it (except the homework part). As far as personal info, you probably know me, so there's no need for useless junk you already know!
