i was just sitting on the front porch with my friend, watching my last summer thunderstorm in waxhaw. the sky kept shocking us, flashing from bluish black to an eerie luminescent blue. the thrill you can get from those storms is so sweet. mainly because you don’t know when the thunder will roar next or how bright and big the next bolt will be. as im in a contemplative mood tonight, it made me think of my trip tomorrow. how its totally not in my control really, all that is ahead of me. yet that’s the adventure of it, if i knew everything that was next, how lame and boring that would be...
yeah, so im leaving in a few hours. i cant wait for the flight. mainly becauase i shall finally delve into the final harry potter book. it has been sitting on my shelf tempting me the past week, and now i will finally allow myself to read it. i hope the 26-hour travel day--charlotte to dulles to tokyo to bangkok-- is long enough to finish it. if not, maybe i will have some convenient delays to give me more time. who cares about going to thailand, i just want to see if harry survives...
so my director, who i will be working for in september, is awesome enough to say that she will pick me up at the airport. even though i have seen her pic, i hope she doesn’t blend in with all the other thais running about in BKK. oh well, it will be an adventure finding her. i hope she has a sign with my name on it-- i have always wanted that.
im going to be a little sappy and say that this summer i have really come to realize how blessed i am when it comes to having amazing family and friends. as i have traveled around, seeing those who are important to me, and getting phone calls and emails from those who are important, but i couldnt see..i cant believe i have such people surrounding me, and I really don’t deserve it. its hard to leave such cool people, but thankfully technology makes the world tiny and keep us close.
ahhhh! im off and away...i shall try to blog as soon as i get some wireless in bangkok to say im alive.
here i go...
