Why, hello there! It’s been a while

For the past few months I have not posted on the blog.. I know. So many bad excuses, but to be honest, I was waiting for something. And that something is soon to be upon us. Or me. Only me actually. Not to sound egocentric or anything. ANYways! I recently decided to move to Boston! Yes, Boston, the United States, Boston! The reason for this is actually that my parents are moving, and as I am taking a gap year (or two) before going to college or whatever, I thought: “why not?!”.

I mean, seriously, why would I turn down an opportunity to move to a new city, on the other side of the Atlantic? A new culture to explore, along with so many new experiences!
The popular question, which is being asked by many is, “But Clara, what on earth are you going to do in Boston if you’re not going to university?” ‘Cause what could one possibly do with so much time and absolutely NO friends, only my parents? To be honest, I’m not quite sure. But that is the beauty of it! For the first time, since I’ve been in control of my life, I am without a plan. I will be doing some art, taking some classes here and there… that is literally the only thing I know! It is probably the most free I have ever been, knowing that I don’t know what’s about to happen.

My goals for this “trip” (not exactly sure for how long I’ll be staying) are:

• To try and narrow in on what I want to study later on. All I know is that it probably has something to do with either art or design – so many question marks
• Read many, many books! – Finally being out of high school and able to decide for my self, which books I read is probably one of the things I’ve been the most excited about!
• Meet new people (obviously)
• Spend some quality time with my mom, and maybe get her back into art, as we both will be without jobs (visa problems)

So this blog will probably transform into something a bit different than what I had planned. I’m thinking to use this as my ‘exploring Boston’ blog – taking you for a ride-along, as I move to a town that I have in fact never visited in my life. And we’ll see how it develops as it goes along (yay for little to no plans!).

Here is a little song that I’ve been pretty much obsessed with the past few weeks: probably the song of my summer!

Talk to you soon,
