The Cycle
I am not sure if I am back or not.
With the passing of my mom, I feel less inclined to write, to share to talk.
I am still in TO. I have bumped into a few former students and I am not sure I like it. I left behind that part of my life.
Anyways... I am slowly putting things in place. My sis and I had a nice weekend hanging out. We made some Trinidadian pepper sauce. It was HOT!!!! Damn hot!
As we make our way through the cleaning of the house, there is a feeling of sadness... Of closure. At the same time, I feel being here in Mom's home is allowing me to say a slow goodbye.
I am doing a presentation with a partner in my Qual course. It should be very interesting and exciting.
On a different note. I am missing my friends in NYC. I have been thinking about them a lot. There is such a big difference between them and ones here. Perhaps its because I was not here from the beginning. There seem to be many more practitioners in the classes than research types.
I think they are not as tight as we were. But also, small things make the difference. I usually am trying to suggest articles I have read pertaining to there subject but I think I come across as a know-it-all. I guess its weird, I was talking to AV and I was saying how when TB, or KD or MO find an article pertaining to my topic, they sent it along. Yet, I don't feel the same thing here.
I miss my life in NYC. I miss the pursuit of knowledge. I should say that I do need a break. I need the low stress of only 2 course. But I do intend to take 2 other Spring courses so I can be ahead of the game when I return.
I know that many people don't read this anymore since it has been so long.
