My journey started on the 9th of February early in the morning. It feels like an eternity ago, but in reality its only been 2 weeks. First week went by really fast in NYC. I got to know a lot of new people and the days were long. All this new stuff everywhere, new people, new language... I think I couldn´t even process most of the things that were told and seen in NYC. But I did have fun and I know that I want to go back during my year here at the states.
Suddenly it was time to leave NYC and fly to my new home here in Nantucket. The plane ride from Boston to Nantucket was a strange but nice experience. The plane was so small it only fit 6 people. It was kind of scary but also very exciting in a good way. The first thing I noticed on the island was that all the houses looked the same. Now that I have been here a little over a week I don't think that's the case anymore. On the first week of my job I learned to do the drop off and pickup for school and now I know how to get around a little better.
I have also seen the ocean now and it was so beautiful. I can´t wait for summer. The sound of the ocean made me so calm and it made me feel like everything will be just fine.
Yesterday we went to see a movie called two days and one night. It was about this woman who was fighting to keep Her job after being diagnosed with depression. It got me thinking how all this change in my life so quickly could affect me badly. I have to be a better me for my sake. The woman in the movie felt some of the same things I have been feeling during my short time here. It kind of opened my eyes to the possibilities of my own actions. And how my own actions could shape my year here. "I have to make my own destiny." so to speak. I know that sounds like a cliché but that's what has been on my mind now.
That's what I have to say for now
