c'est la vie.



I haven't forgotten what I love and have left behind,
  


though it's hard to feel deeply nostalgic
when I wake up to the laughter of sparrows and starlings 
  

and then soon venture outside to fetch eggs for breakfast
 from the chicken coop in the backyard
  

accompanied by my best friend Bounty,
  

and, as I walk back in the house, hear the song I'm whistling repeated in a chipper tone, 

 

and it's especially difficult to feel nostalgic when I know that no matter what
I can always buy a waffle from the hippy van down the street.

this is a blog

that you may find profound, deviant, or insipid.

It may teach you, inspire you and leave you lost in thought; or it may bore you and cause your eyes to drag slowly shut.

You may read it for an hour, or maybe not at all.

Maybe you'll get to know me, maybe in ways I don't even know me.

I left the United States in August 2010 as a Rotary exchange student. I'll leave Belgium in July 2011 as Jordann.
