unhinged i'm not talking about anime

i met this international student tonight at dinner and he lives in my dorm. we went to visit him after dinner and he showed us pictures of his family and how he lived by showing us this book he had brought with him. we tried to help him with his english a bit. he was getting so frustrated because he just didn't know how to say what he wanted to say. but we sure did make him laugh.

unhinged i wish i could spend every day in a new place. i want to move far away from here and my comfort but the fact is i'm lazy. the language barrier scares me too. one small deli in the czech countryside was enough to scare me for the rest of my life. 010326
