race you to the waterside.

Whew.  It has been a whirlwind of a semester.  Things have started to speed up rather than slow down, if you can believe it, but it’s a different kind of rush these days.  Europe is close on the horizon, and a number of things have started to shift to a more positive direction.  A change is gonna come.  I can feel it in my bones.  I’m trying to see how many more cliches I can fit into this one little paragraph.

Change is coming; and with it, all kinds of new things.  This blog has lately been a frequent jumble of my mindless rants - soon, it’ll be more organized and coherent.  Things are falling into place, and fast.  I’m headed in a beautiful new direction, and I’m excited for the places it’ll take me.

Things to expect soon:

• A blog for Europe.  After a whole lot of consideration, I think I want to start an entirely separate blog for my adventures while I’m gone.  It’s a whole new phase of my life…why wouldn’t it deserve its own webpage?
• Recipes.  Food.  I forgot how much I love cooking, it’s time to get back into it.
• No more piercings, mom.  I promise.
• The conclusion of a medical story that’s gone on way too long, and likely will never end.  Maybe “conclusion” is the wrong word; “resignation” is more accurate.
• Lists.  Tons of them.
• Our story.  The story of the biggest change my life has endured thus far, typed out in complete detail.  I don’t want to forget the tiny details when my mind becomes to full to hold it all, and I’ve decided to sit down and write out everything I can remember.  Now if I could just decide which of 39 drafts I want to use…
• More cliches!
• Answers.  To the important questions, like “what do tigers dream of, when they take a little tiger snooze?”
• PICTURES.  Taken with the canon rebel that’s on its way to me :)
• The beach, with Christina.
• More lists!
• French toast.  French fries.
• Plans…for tower climbs and swanky hotels, castles, midnight trains, crepes, pictures, kisses, picnics, friends, late night drinks….plans to laugh and love and create infinite numbers of cliches.  Plans for Europe.  Plans to live life with no plans.  Plans to live.

Stay tuned!
