Ambivalence

So today I realized in the metro station that I think I could live here in Prague again. The big issue is that I need something to do. It's like the Garden of Eden thing. If you believe the story literally, God made a man and put him in paradise. Even though he was in a place of perfection, he was still given work to do: name the animals; take care of the garden. Humans, no matter how lazy we get, are instilled with a need to be productive. The book of Proverbs says that "Where there is no vision, the people perish." I think that definitely holds true for.

What I need is a project. And I need it to be challenging. I'm not talking about Prague, either. I'm talking about in my life. I need to be working toward something. I guess that's why I did so well in school. There were all of these goals and objectives to master. I was given an assignment and was told to figure out how to complete it. Life is much harder. That's obvious. But in some ways I need life to be more like school. I can't just float across the sea. I need ports of call. Hopefully the next few years of my life will provide that. 

I'd love to post some pictures of Budapest right now, but I need to go sleep. Tom and I are leaving tomorrow to go to Austria, Germany, and Liechtenstein. I have a feeling you're going to love these pictures. Oh yeah, and I'm hoping to get to drive on the Autobahn. What now!?
