a nomad at heart

Posted by deepali on July 18, 2007

I’ve never been the type who’s needed to set down roots (which is bizarre considering how long I’ve lived here). I think it’s telling that the commute to school was never considered a disadvantage, that every summer I dream of road trips and weekends away, that my brother moving across the country didn’t even faze (actually, I thought it was awesome).

So it doesn’t surprise me now that I’m planning my escape. I’ve still got another year to go in school (and a thesis), but I’m already thinking about the fellowships and grants I’ll be applying for so I can spend a year or so in another country (preferably one I’ve never been to before). I’ve definitely overstayed my welcome in this city.
