Day 2

Interesting about things getting done. America is a country where you have to work for things, if you want to have something. Nobody will be getting on your nerves about accomplishing assignments and achieving goals, if you have no desire to do it.
As much as it is a country of the most available opportunities, it is also a country where you have to work your buff to achieve what you want.
American mindset is different from most europian countries though. The people in America don't think as broad and deep as people in Europe. It has both good and not so good side to it. It is absolutely wonderful when one is a professional in one's area of work, yet when one doesn't know anything outside of that area, it sort of shrinks one's opportunities.
Americans like to have a "plan", more so a "day agenda". For instance, they like to know ahead that the next day they are going to run in the morning, meet with some people later in the afternoon, get certain things done at some point of the day. Not many of the people are spontaneous. Being spontaneous is fun and exciting, yet it is not a necessary quality for one to have. I don't want to generalize all of the americans, some of them do like to do things that are not "on the agenda", yet mostly, they have everything planned out and tend to get a little overwhelmed when thing don't go the way they were supposed to.

By the way, I'm just describing my experience, I'm not trying to criticize or bring down either american or europian cultures. I respect and value both of them.

Next thing I want to really emphasize and underline is american food. Driving and eating are probably the two main differences between America and Europe.

I will devote some time to describe both of the above.

Day 1

Funny. Just saw "Julie and Julia" got inspired and decided to start. I, actually, had to google the title of the movie, because I kept spelling it with double "l". I'm probably sill more europian that most of the students who come to America, even thought I've been here for a while.
I'm very excited to try to figure out what does it actually look and feel like to be a "foreigner". I've been in America for a little less than two years now, and I don't feel like I'm europian anymore, yet I don't feel completely american, because I am not.

Therefore, let this journey of discovering the foreign nature begin...
