Had a few really intense dreams this morning. In one of them, Joey had died and it was terrible to not have said goodbye. In another, I was taking a really awesome senior seminar class on All Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I can't stop thinking about them.
I saw Radiohead on Sunday and it was beyond incredible. It poured rain the entire time. By the second encore my muscles were contracting and I had lost feeling in my toes. I could have lived without that... but the rain could not have been more amazing. When they played Paranoid Android rain down, come on rain down on me it was one of the most beautiful and intense things I have yet to experience. My cell phone was destroyed by the torrential down pours, but I don't really mind. Everything about it was perfect.
On Tuesday I awoke to find that my car window had been smashed out. After I got all of that straightened out, Tyler, Lexy, Sarah, Elenore, Bowman, Viennay, Carlton etc. and I went to Texas Beach and had an amazing day of exploration, art, and basking in the sunlight. It felt so natural, running around the woods barefoot. Sarah gifted us with special cookies, and the whole day was enhanced by their magic. After we left, we all drunkly shopped for food to grill and had an incredible cook out at Carlton's house. I unfortunately sliced my finger open with the lid of a can of beans. I have taken my thumbs for granted, I'll tell you, because it is very difficult to do normal things without the use of one.
Tyler and I are going to Illinois tomorrow morning to visit my family for a few days. I am so excited to see them! And so excited for Tyler to meet them, and for them to meet Tyler.
I bought a book about traveling in Thailand and am getting increasingly worked up about going. I need to figure out plane tickets, arrival dates, and post program traveling plans. I've also got to find a job so I can afford to live upon my return.
Everything is so good, it's great.
