renascence:

studying overseas has so much damned paperwork involved. the dutch certainly love their bureaucracy, i think almost as much as my lovely country of birth if not more. alas, I am as official as I am going to get here, which means I should not have to do anything until I have to renew my student visa next year...

Starting my research on Monday, until...

Well ive made the crossing, and once again my mug has survived the airport mishandlers (and my bags followed me too). I am still adjusting to the 6 hour time change, but my weird flight route sort of shocked me into it. I flew from Ottawa to Boston, then on to Reykjavik, and finally to Amsterdam, where I then took the train for 3 hours...

Well a plane is booked. 16 days until I cross the Atlantic to begin another scholastic endeavor. Itll be odd getting back into a school mode as it has been 4 and a half years since ive been in a classroom. Well a formal classroom I guess. I traveled around saving turtles, hung out in Europe for a while and also seen a great deal...

YESSSSS. i do spend time wondering if we could somehow live underwater. the ocean is a wonderful and terrifying place though. constant fear of being killed by a venomous rockfish or an electric eel or....some beautiful and seemingly harmless coral....who knows! hahaha but i guess that would be a far better way to go than to be hit by a car or shot or anything of that ish.

mm...now i'm just thinking about living in the sea.

overseas adventure sounds exciting! i'm jealous. whereabouts are you going?

Transcontinental romance is one hell of a struggle. It is often a question of the distance making the heart grow fonder, or making one ask the importance of continuing on. Im in the middle of this tumult presently and its not so cool.

So forever it has been since I have put some words here. Ive been moving to and fro crossing over the Atlantic a few times, and will be doing so again at the end of the summer. Just finished reading Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon and despite it taking a looooong time as it is so disjointed it was an amazing read. that is all...

you know the sound, or perhaps you dont. it crashes, envelopes, and deafens. inspires a sense of awe and curiosity all at once. that is a sound I crave right now. In the words of Lars Frederiksen "Im married to the sea..."
