something about shedding light (or grace) on me (or thee).man, it is so nice to be home. i forgot what it was like to feel like i belonged somewhere. the static dragging along in the back of my mind, the constant reminder that some things are a little off kilter, has fallen away. i'm smiling. i'm happy. and i've still got 13 days. w00t!
karen cut her hair today. she cut it real short. she asked my opinion before she did it, and i thought she'd look nice with short hair. i, as usual, was right. her students will say things like, "oooooo!" and "ooooooooooooo!"
went to a beach in San Diego yesterday. it was nice to be so close to the ocean. there's a pic up there on top of karen walking down the beach. (all that long hair is now gone.)
it's 78 degress here, plus. we're happy to be here, basking in the sun.
i was blown away, and still am taken aback, by all the english i am hearing. all the diversity i am seeing. i'm still not used to seeing people who aren't white. and i'm still not used to hearing perfect english. even my english has degraded since living in ukraine.
to all of my friends still in ukraine for the holiday season, i wish you luck, joy, and love.
and these words: america is more amazing than you probably remember.

I hear you... and I'm incredibly jealous of those walks on the beach and, most of all, of the sunlight and warmth you are enjoyig. Soak it up and energize yourselves for your final PC run! Happy Holidays, K&L!
