kitewithfishGIVEN: That meeting new people can be difficult.
GIVEN: That foreign languages are difficult to learn
GIVEN: That it is difficult to move to a new place,
IT CAN BE ARGUED THAT: studying abroad for a year could be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life thus far.
GIVEN: That I signed up for this mess of complications.
IT CAN BE ARGUED THAT: I am not a coward, and trying new and difficult things is not something that will cause me to chicken out of something.
THUS: My decision to *not* go to a new club tonight, on a Tuesday night, when I have not finished studying for a class I would like to understand, is not based on an unreasonable level of cowardice about doing something new.
Sigh. It is a hard truth, that though picking up and moving across the world may change everything around you, it does not really change who you are. I am still chickenshit.
