being cultured

I went to the ballet tonight. In Europe. Honestly, who does that? A year ago, I never would have said it would be me. But a lot can change in a year. I remember standing outside my dorm building in the snow last January, on a borrowed cell phone, calling my dad to say that I had heard about Calvin’s semester program in Hungary, and I thought I might apply for it. And now here I am, going to the ballet on Thursday night. And not just any ballet - I saw “The Nutcracker.”
