Just so you all know, at first this blog will be boring and uninteresting. I am not in Iceland yet and I will not be in Iceland for a good six months or more. As of today I am on lesson 5 of Icelandic 101 on livemocha.com so far an amazing teaching method. Much like The Rosetta Stone.
I opened a savings account and am adding $100 every week. I am looking for information on housing/apartments over there, or perhaps people to room with.
Although, people to room with isn't as big of a deal as other things because my good friend Danny is coming with me as well. He is just as excited as I am to finally do something that most Americans...well any people really, are afraid to do. That is, to leave your homeland to live in another world. Granted, this may not be a big deal for some of you, but to me and the people that I grew up with, this is unheard of. D.C. has always been home. Always. So much to me that everything else seems completely fake. I have only left this area a handful of times, so to me every place that I see in the movies or on TV or in books, could be completely and utterly false. As if my life is that of The Truman show.
I could go on forever talking about this.....and I most likely will. I have already, to a select few people, I have said these same things over and over again. I am trying to keep this somewhat secret, only because if something ends up happening where I cannot go or do not go. I don't want to be Ridiculed for it. I also feel like I will be told I can't, or that it just wont happen.
If you don't feel like reading all of the things that lead up to my leave then wait a few months and check back. I am also using this blog as a Journal for a documentary I am filming along side this trip. Welcome to my new start.
