slugger's going for pro
wow it's been awhile. i went on a picnic today, rode a seahorse on the free merry-go-round, and hung out with two of the best girls I know. I also fell asleep at 6 for an hour. i will be so glad when it cools down and i can really get some sleep. i miss air conditioning a lot.
so, i have an oven. i've made muffins, brownies, and garlic cheese rolls. i actually cook. well, sort of. i have eggs though, that's pretty serious lol.
next thursday i start at the carnegie, which i'm really looking forward to. sandi and i have had some good email correspondence, so i'm feeling good about this.
i'm starting to think about next summer already. 4 ideas and counting. ah!
more work to do on the mongolia paper, but i've struck up a repor with ganaa and translations are underway
i've become a bit more introverted again, but with chinese class i don't feel so antisocial. it's wonderful to have a group of people to come back to, people that i really enjoy. even the situation i was a bit worried about hasn't turned into anything, which is a relief. so far, everything is going pretty smoothly...and i've had a lot of time these first two weeks to relax actually. i love the public library so much lol.
i miss my mom, but it's getting easier. much easier in any case than being halfway around the world. sometimes i worry that i'm too attached, but our relationship has never crippled me personally...i still have taken all the risks i needed to...going to pitt, going to mongolia, etc. i think in a lot of ways having her to ground me has made leaving possible. i can be at my very lowest with her, and when i'm at my highest she's the first one i call. she's my best friend in so many ways, and it's her birthday tomorrow. wish i could be there, but we'll be together again in october.
what else is new...hmm...some things continue just the same. when i went to florida and saw all those couples with little kids, it really hit me that i could have a toddler of my own...which is slightly odd to realize. i'm so far from that point, but at the same time i could see myself with kids. who knows, maybe one day.
becoming slightly obsessed with norah jones. and i have buddy holly music now! exciting.
not much else of note i'll want to remember.
all the best,
