I have always considered myself a European, maybe from the way I always keep a sophisticated style, or the fact that my last name is french, I have french ancestors, my great great grandfather was a spainard and I have irish in me somwhere according to my mom. I got the magnificent oppurunity to travel to Spain and Italy last year and fell in love with European culture. Dont get me wrong, I love the good old U.S of A but there was just something about being across the Atlantic...sailing on the Mediterannean...mingling with the Europeans...it was magical. My mother is a woman who gets what she wants and what she has been talking about the past year or so has been moving to Europe. I thought my mother was crazy when she wanted my family to move to Arizona. Well look at where we are now. I have no problems with moving to Europe as long as I get to finish my high school education at my school in AZ. There's just so many if's to the situation though. London is my first choice because you all know how much I love the British culture and drool over English boys. People complain about the rain but it's nothing an umbrella and some designer wellies cant fix. Then there's Spain...which is my mom's first choice. Spain is gorgeous, the architecture is amazing and the boys are the sexiest human beings I have seen in person in my lifetime. But they speak spanish. I'm learning Spanish the same way my older siblings did, by taking it alllll of their school years. My grandparents did not teach my dad spanish growing up so therefore that leaves work on me and my siblings part. I heard the only real way to learn spanish or eany language is to deposit yourself in their culture and you'll eventually pick it up. Even my spanish teacher swears by that. But that would mean a rough couple of months trying to become fluent. Then there is Paris, my mother's second choice. Paris is beautiful, the people are skinny, and helllooo croissants! But I have no desire to learn French and I'm muy sensitivo so the french people wouldnt be best for me. I was telling my mom on how I want to return to Italy and visit the places I didnt go such as Milan and Venice, and she said "Well when we live in Spain it will be like going to California! But better." and she's right. Who wouldnt want to do a weekend trip to Italy. Craving Italian food? Let' s go to that restaurant in front of the Parthenon! It all sounds so amazing. But I have a lot to think about. This year I'm auditioning like crazy for music opportunities since music is my main goal. It really all depends on what happens my last few years of high school. We'll see where I go from there. But I'll focus on the small things first. Such as, this summer I'm going to London and Paris. Is the school year over yet?
