marking time

two years ago today, i was sleeping under a mosquito net, sweating a lot, taking cold showers and reflecting on a recent trip to nicaragua. 

one year ago today, i had my on-campus interview that accompanied the submission of my fulbright application. i tearfully let go of six months of research, soul-searching and proposal writing.

today, i biked to school in the dark because the sun hadn't come up yet. i handled birds we caught at piedmont park. ate lunch and studied on the patio at panera and generally felt good about where i am and what i'm doing.

each day i feel more comfortable biking in the city. i made it through midterms and can take the long weekend to breathe and enjoy fall.... and hopefully catch up on some sleep.
