    Question Courage

    I am in a dilemma here and would like some input.

    I have always wanted to learn to speak Russian and now I have the opportunity to do so here at the university in Reykjavik. It's only two classes a week and I can still work at my job. I got the ok from my boss the other day. I have no purpose for wanting to learn it other than it has always been a dream of mine. My application to the university has been accepted. The cost of going to university here in "Europe" is not expensive. A year will only cost me about $600 + books. Yes, you read that right. About $600.

    Anyway, my question is, should I go for it? I know a person should pursue their dreams and this one is within my grasp. It is only a one year course and I would then have a BA in Russian.

    I'm just scared to start school again but I need to use my brain. Cutting fish all day uses no brain cells.
    Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

    Do it! Of course if you didn't study frequently you loose some concentration and stuff like that but if you really want it you have the right engine by your side! Go for it :-)

    Go for it! When I'm faced with a decision I will often ask myself what would I regret, doing the thing (and possibly failing) or not doing the thing. The answer is almost always do it. Good luck and keep us posted!
