So I’v been in Europe for almost 2 weeks now. Our trip around the Balkans has been over for a few days now and classes have started up. I did really enjoy going around the Balkans for a week. When I was thinking about my time in the Balkans I figured that it would only be Kosovo, Macedonia, Greece, and whatever country I go to on my own time. But it was cool to be able to see all these places.

 

I still do feel a little tired from the whole trip. We went from place to place in a very quick amount of time. It defiantly took a lot out of me. I have been unwinding pretty well this week because the current work load is not that heavy. I’m sure that will get more loaded by next week but I’m just letting myself catch up and learn about Pristina while I have free time. I’m sure once our documentary project gets going I’ll be back into the normal semester work schedule.

Im currently sitting around the airport killing time and working on my projects. I have a flight to Germany leaving in one hour. I am going over some more of the Kosovo class resources that I did not get at this point. I’v been up since 6 packing and seeing some of my friends in the Boston area before I leave for the next month and a half.

I have never been outside of North America so this is my first time in Europe. My fokes used to go to Eruope all the and still talk about it a lot. This is all new to me and I’m looking forward to everything. Most of my anxiety for traveling goes away after I cross security, then mostly I start thinking about where I’m going. I have no idea of what I’m going to experience in Kosovo, but I plan on keeping myself open.
