Where and back again?

So, I realize it's been a while since I last posted a moments
reflection, lifetime experience, or what have you. Anyways, here is a
breakdown where in the world my family currently resides. My older
brother has been attending the Kingly Technical University of
Stockholm as of a year and a half ago. I have not seen him (other
than through skype sometimes) since he backed out of our driveway
summer 2009. More recently, however, are my parents and little
brother who moved down to St. Lucia, a paradise of an island in the
Caribbean. Yes, that vacation spot everyone talks about. They moved
just about a month ago for my dad's job, and I am absolutely stunned
by where they've been located. The good news is that that's where I'm
going "home" to for Christmas! Roughly following this school year
they may be relocating yet again to Sweden, permanently. In sum, I
will be the last member of the family living in the U.S. next year.

But hold on to your hat! More happy travels... my plans are almost as well
as set for studying abroad in Granada, Spain this spring! My dad faxed
me the postcard I had received in the mail from Granada - it is taped
up in my dorm room, giving me so much more well-needed motivation for
the workload I have taken upon myself at school this semester. So if
everything works out, for which I am crossing my toes and fingers and
picking up every heads penny I see, I will be traveling first to St.
Lucia, then to Spain, then to Sweden, and back again thereafter.

This is exactly what I need, to figure myself out a little more. I just spoke the other day with a friend at school who had spent 12 months in Argentina, and him and I are on the same page when it comes to understanding the importance of just getting out and living life. Opportunities come up along the way. Life is spontaneous!
