this month is getting kind of better, kind of interesting, kind of... morally ambiguous. stories to tell when i get back?
ugh, but when things aren't interesting, i'm totally sluggish. this is a completely spoiled and obvious statement, but these last 3 weeks would be so much more to me if i didn't have all this work to do. field journal and semester paper = yuck. among other things...

however, despite the yuck, last night had some really beautiful moments. i had made a bunch of new brazilian friends and we were talking and walking down the street in the rain. i was in awe of my first post-thanksgiving xmas lights, and everything felt so bright and alive. i held on to that for as long as i could. there is so much more to say and not say, but really, that moment was it.

i hope i get all the classes i want (will post once i'm pre-registered). for that and many other reasons, i am incredibly excited for 2007.
i miss you.

EDIT: moral ambuiguities have fled. i think of what happened as a test of my integrity. i passed, and hope (but don't expect) for an oppurtunity for some fica fica as a reward. we'll see. this is probably a story better told in person, methinks. it's getting less juicy as i type. anyways, love.
