Next month I'll be leaving for Europe and I still can't believe it, it feels like I still have so much left to plan when in reality I have a lot of things under control. This blog isn't really about what I will be doing in Europe, though I'm sure as I move closer to the date I will write about it, it's more about what I hope to gain from the experience.

For me, it will be the first time I go overseas. Sure, I have been to a bunch of places in the Northwestern Hemisphere but it seems like such a huge step to venture into the Eastern Hemisphere (dah duh dummmm). It's not just Europe I'm visiting either because my first stop is in Cairo, Egypt to visit my friend who lives there when not in school.

By the time I get back I want to have written a lot.
I want to write a series called "Lucky Penny Moments" where little instances of luck resulting in something positive. These will be short, more like Tweets, but I don't know how much access I'll have to internet so my notebook will serve as the note holder.

I want to come out of Europe with a few novel ideas. Ideas that I can actually use sometime to write a book. It's time to start expanding my repertoire from short stories, sketches, and poems to quality stories and screenplays of length.

I am hoping to think critically about my future. I mean, for real, not like the dreams that I have but how I can actually accomplish them.

I want to come back with stories. Of all kinds.

I'm going to be traveling alone as far as I know...so, I want to test myself to go places even when I'm tired and don't want to walk anymore.

I don't know, there's so much...I'm just really looking forward to the 14th of June where I leave home for a long and exciting journey. Yeee.
