Bring It

What a relief to be in a program at school that feels so right. I look forward to class, I love doing the readings, my mind wants to think in the ways it is being guided to think... school is no longer something i am doing to fill the void, it is fascinating and demanding my energy. I am thrilled.

May & June are dedicated to Dal, especially June... I have no time to think about anything except when I will have time to study and read. It took a while to find this path but now I am in the groove. I don't want to wish away the summer, but I am looking forward to the fall because I want to sink my teeth into the human mind. As if I have no experience in that endeavour.

The rain, the rain, the rain... every year this happens, it gets a little warm and everyone calls "summer!" and then it rains for two months and everyone gets cranky. I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, i just want it to be shining down on the parking lot so I can soak it up.

Thanks to the marvel of Aeroplan, I get to be a jet-setter for the second time in a year and am zipping off to France with my mom & dad for a week at the end of August to go to the wedding of an old pal. Some of you know her, Aude; we have kept in touch since I lived in France in 1983/4, and she has made the trek twice to Canada to visit me... I vowed to be in France for her wedding, and then it looked impossible to budget, but lo and behold I will be there and I still have not absorbed this fact in its entirety. I have vivid memories of life in France, but I suspect my perspective as a 30-something will be somewhat different than that of an 8 year old. I am so excited I don't even know what to say. Paris. August. Bonjour!!!

Big day of studying ahead of me tomorrow. It is so nice to be inspired again.
