i am back in vermont. the intrepreter training starts soon, delayed by deaths in the family of the teacher... i can't help but think that i could still be over there and not here not here. home comings are always disappointing. you find that nothing has changed, there are now leaves on the trees but your friends are still lushes and your mother is still insane and your sister hasn't taken her anti-depressants in two weeks and so shes all nuts from the withdrawl...
not that i really expected things to change, i just forgot for a while what it is like to live here. christ i'm ready to move. thankfully, this is exactly what i intend to do!
the plan is to relocate to oregon, for a while anyway. there are lots of russians there (one of the largest populations of old believers), there are friends there, heart-throbs too. many couches offered. really, what more do i need? after russian school, i'm off like a prom dress. russian school starts 15 june. get ready, get set! it could be a good year; that is, i think it will be. (there are plans, big plans)
