Journeys for Knowledge

Normally, January is a slow month for me. Winter break ends and school slowly gets back up to speed, but nothing much really happens until the final week. Not so this year. Immediately after returning home I was busy meeting one friend or another, watching plays and movies with my family, and even traveling to Los Angeles for a few days. I had been home almost 3 weeks and barely had time to just sit and do nothing, but by the end of it I was recharged and ready to head back for 7 more months.

Thankfully I did spend one week just at home, and ultimately I would say my time was well spent with everyone. Even if I didn’t spend a lot of time in any one place, I made the most of each little meeting. We often take this sort of thing for granted, especially when we’re used to being around certain people for so long and seeing them everyday. Yet, life has a habit of whisking them away from us when we least expect it, and unless one is wholly invested in the moment they’re sharing with another, it will already be behind you.

Now it’s the end of the month, which is typical a very exciting time for me. Not only is my birthday close approaching, but are the birthdays of my cousin, my uncle, and my dad. Of course there’s also the Super Bowl in the middle there, which should be quite interesting to experience here in England. It may be the closest thing to being back in America I will experience until July. I apologize for posting so infrequently. I know I said I would not post every day, but I can do better than once a month, so I will.
