and now....for my final thesis

What I've learned this semester

Big things:

• Being by the water makes me happy.
• People generally want to help you feel comfortable.
• I love people who love the world.
• I can be myself around people who aren’t forced at me.
• I love beginnings.
• I can be happy on my own and I deserve to be.
• I like kids more than I thought.
• I love a sense of home and stability.
• One cannot learn to believe in God. You either do, don't or feel you don't have a place to decide. 
• I love ‘love’ just as much, if not more than before.
• The whole world is going green, not just the west.
• The more you see, the more knowledge you gain.
• I’m more interested in “things” when I am experiencing them.
• Kids are sponges to their surroundings.
• In my heart of hearts, I’m a city girl.
• I feel mean when I’m with passive people and have to make every decision.
• I am more comfortable, myself and happy hanging around in a group of 2, 3, or 4 versus a group of 8 or 10.
• I seriously dislike when people litter. Not just in a joking, light hearted way. 
• The most personal way to dance with your partner is with your eyes. 

Stupid things I’ve learned:

• My fragile stomach likes food from America.
• The whole world loves Shakira, Marilyn Monroe and The Beatles.
• American universities are ridiculously over priced.
• Dogs are a European man’s best friend too.
• Dressing nice isn’t that hard to do.
• I don’t need to curl or straighten my hair every day.
• American’s should walk more.
• I’d rather buy sunflower seeds at a baseball game than a bullfight. : /
• Tennis is a warm-weather, classy sport and I want to learn.
• Oeros are only good when you eat 3, 4 or 5 at a time.
• American boys are my cup of tea.
