Listening to: Feist “1234” and
Mood: Frustrated but optimistic
And by the way: Polish women are my new sheroes.
Nothing like graduating and moving halfway across the world to start questioning, you know, everything. I never liked introspection very much and I’m a little miffed by how much time I have to indulge in just that.
To sum up: I’m not quite sure what I’m doing. I am sure that what I’m doing is not the same as what I expected to be doing, nor is it the same as what I want to be doing. Frustration and confusion are duking it out right now for reign over my mind, and on good days confusion comes out ahead.
Today is a good day. It’s beautiful out this morning, I’m going swimming in an hour, I ate a great tomato sandwich for lunch and I’m taking the afternoon off. This weekend I’m playing croquet, visiting my soon-to-be Burundian host family, and going to a bar-b-que for the US-South Africa rugby match. And not to be underestimated, the newly downloaded aforementioned songs are a very important part of the mix.
And some things are about to change. I don’t know yet exactly what that means, but I’ll over-frazzle if everything stays the same so I have no choice but to try to make a few changes. I have a few starting blocks. I desperately need to learn and I really want to be around women but mostly I’m aching for a passion… I’ll see where I get with that.
I’ve finally uploaded some pictures and hesitated to send a link because they don’t begin to depict the whole scene here. But since nothing could: picasaweb.com/taylorsteelman/Burundi.
