A new beginning

deserves a new layout.

Well, it isn’t so much a beginning. It’s more like a renewed interest. Plus, now I have internet at home, horrible distracting internet.

I am currently in Sarajevo, supposedly studying. My school is attended by Turkish girls and boys studying in English. There are a few Bosnians as well, but mostly it seems to be overflowing with Turks. It’s weird not to be taught by primarily Christian/Jewish professors, especially when not one is Anglo-Saxon either. I have one Bosnian, one Turk, and one Pakistani. The Pakistani professor really knows his Bosnian history and despite the fact that I am studying 20th Century Poetry and Prose with him, he seems to focus more on his various tangents. Yesterday, we got his views on religion and I actually enjoyed it much, as long as he doesn’t ask me to convert. However, he does believe that a man has got to stick to his convictions…as long as he has some.

Sarajevo is interesting. Growing. It has potential because there are a lot of foreign investors. If only the same could be said for the rest of Bosnia, especially the smaller towns and villages.  But, hey, maybe that whole trickle down theory works.
