Life is sweet

I'm in love with life and people and being completely sober due to upcoming swim meets at silly dance parties but having fun anyway, I'm in love with surprise birthday celebrations and funfetti cake in honor of really good friends, in love with delicious dinners out with people I adore, in love with cooking tasty food, in love with the OPED page of the New York Times, in love with eating really tasty oranges and letting the juice drip all over my chin and not bothering to clean it up, in love with driving around roundabouts too many times and nearly causing traffic accidents, in love with good, strong coffee, in love with fabulous emails and letters, in love with swimming and being here and being ALIVE, for goodness sake.

There are days and weeks and months and years when you honestly believe that there is no possible way to be happier, and I'm starting to think that my life may be a string of those magical times. I'm way too busy here... these semesters of you don't even want to know the schedule are overwhelming and even more so after the laid back pace of Africa... but once it picks up again, I just can't quit. Mostly because I love it that way.

I can't believe that the semester is already 20% over. It seems like I just showed up here. Life's good and it's flying by while I try to figure out what exactly is happening and I keep promising myself that I'll reserve time to sit down and think about it, but there seem to be too many better things to do.
