DUDE. totally just got back from CHINE. was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. i was with a lot of intelligent people and it was really refreshing. it was kind of weird, actually, to be around people where we don't end up talking about UNBELIEVABLY DANK ELECTRIC BONGS by the end of every conversation. every time i travel i am reminded about how much i love to travel. when i'm at home for a while i tend to forget this. i will continue to pursue my interest of history and anthropology this fall. so yeah, not taking the "imagining the body" program anymore. although gender studies, sociology and psychology are very relevant, no denying. plus when i travel i have escaped american society. i've noticed when i'm in the states i always end up looking at people and being able to classify them so easily. of course mine is sheer judgement and it's most likely callous and harsh, wrong too, but people do do this to themselves. maybe it is just this town. arid arid arid arid town. i've been a hermit for the past week or so. I'M ON A WEE THREAD. so fuck the world. i feel really awesome. i think i have changed a lot over the past six weeks. i'm at ease, it seems. holding onto myself until it's time to move out. i feel less awkward, to say the least. and more comfortable. like all these past years i've been wishing that things were like this and now they are and it's unusual. i think i learned a lot about myself in china. more than i ever learned at uinta. i guess it clicked. it's pretty hard to describe, kind of fantastic, i don't know. maybe it will last. maybe it will burn out. next summer i'm thinking some epic traveling will ensue. buddy?
