I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep
I'm home now, and for the first time in a long time, it looks like I'm going to actually be home for the summer. The last time I was home all summer, I was still in high school. It's hard to believe that that was five years ago now. I'm enjoying being home, and I have a job, so I definitely have things to do. It hasn't quite settled in yet that I won't be going back to school in the fall.
I like my job so far, although I'm a little disoriented yet, and it's a totally new thing for me. It's hectic and crazy, and I still haven't figured everything out yet, but everyone has been very patient with me. This is different aspect of horticulture for me, and I think it's going to be really interesting.
Today, it has been two weeks since Osama bin Laden was killed. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it. Mostly, I feel relieved. Osama bin Laden has been my country's boogeyman for far too long. I am not happy, I am not joyous. To revel in a person's death, even an evil man's death, seems ill and terrible to me. But I am relieved. He is dead, and cannot haunt this country anymore. And for that I am relieved.
