Oh hey.
I know that if I don't maintain a blog while i am abroad, I am going to disappoint myself and the people who would actually want to read it (mostly my parents and my grandma -- and perhaps a handful of friends). I would also disappoint myself. I tend to be a flake when it comes to maintaining a service like this, which is hard to believe, seeing that I do enjoy talking about myself.
I leave a week from today. A week from :right: now, I will be en route to Zurich. Last time I was in Zurich I was sauntering around the red cross museum while dodging hail with my parents. I was 17. Junior year Spring Break? It was wonderful. Though often through great protest, my mother has always succeeded in taking us to monuments and/or museums that, though we may protest (a younger laura kiefer did not dig art museums -- however I have always loved museums that are natural history esq) has almost always delivered in introducing us (and by us i tend to mean my two older sisters and I -- and Jay-bo, my father) to edifying structures that have influenced my growth since my uniformed primary introduction to the historical sites that I was visiting.
As anyone can tell who is reading this blog, my thoughts will rarely be complete -- but this does not mean that the of an overall theme will be absent. When I write -- most things are fragmented -- it is kind of like how I think. I tend to think about a lot of things, at the same time -- thus meaning that most are incomplete
It is unfortunate that my singular eyebrow raise cannot be accurately manifested through text. It happens. I just hope my attitude and emotions can be portrayed with some sort of veracity.
Actually, I am sure it can be. I am not that worried about it.
Anyway, again I digress. I am excited at the moment, though i know i will be terrified out of my mind come thursday and friday. At least I recognize that I will be a basket case.
