its for real

Welp, it happened, I got a job offer. I was really super nervous earlier, and while i was talking to the lady on the phone I was geting excited. When she ended the conversation saying I would have an offer coming shortly I was estatic. Then reality sunk in. i'm moving. to turkey. Wow. 10 months - i'm not good at commitment, Probably one of the reasons i havent settled down yet. 10 months in a foreign country.

The more i think about it, the more excited i get, Its accomplishing all of my goals and I know good things are going to come of it, its just like wow, its happening. What if's are poppingup everywhere. My life is going to e so different. Some can say yeah i lived abraod for a year. But how many can say i lived in a totally differnt country than western europe, survived, and most importantly learned something.

I went to the Uffizi today when i realized i would have limited time in Florence. It was amazing. the history, the skill. Simply gorgeous. I was kind of excited that I was there by myself, I had a moment to be alone with my thoughs and kind of process the last few weeks. It was interesting to me that all these ancient historical pictures depict Christ and many biblical stories, yet our culture rejects these idealogies. Why is it that some of the most important historical painting have so much to do with Christianity but we cant even talk about it freely anymore. I was very intrigued by this as i wandered from room to room today. I finally came to an appreciation of florence also. I saw in teh background of one of the paintings the duomo and it all came together how much history was involved with this city. Its quite amazing, really.
