i'm returning to boston on march 5th!
i really am excited. so is AG. it's all so fun and new and exciting!
trying to keep my cool and not let it distract me too much during the day, but that is becoming increasingly difficult. that said, i am SO looking forward to these next three weeks here with my friends. i'm definitely making the most of the time here. and work is keeping me very busy in the meantime. I am helping my colleague in Geneva place students there (from London) - and fortunately, english is the common language there - otherwise, there is no way i could help.
last night on the bus there was a drunken old man shouting at the bus driver to f*ck off, and people on the bus yelling at the old man to get the f*ck off the bus - and i couldn't help but think that i would not miss that. i know it adds character and flavour to brixton - but i think that is one flavour i can do without. my tastebuds are tired of that one. i wonder if that means i've aquired a taste for the bland and ordinary? i wouldn't like to think so. maybe i'll have to search out a bit more flavour in boston this time. i think i can do that. i've got a native as my guide.
so the weekend is ahead and i have to deal with a broken shower at my house tomorrow. being a landlady can be a real drag sometimes. my poor flatmate hasn't had hot water all week - so i really MUST get it fixed tomorrow. i've not serviced the boiler since i bought the house, so i'm going to see if the plumber can do that too. can't have this kind of stuff happening while i'm away.
hooray for the weekend. happy friday everyone!

Just a few of my favorite quotes on risking and growing. I love you- We are proud of you.
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
--Anais Nin
"Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown."
--George Shinn
Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.-- Katherine Mansfield
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
--Helen Keller (Let Us Have Faith)
When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly. --Patrick Overton
you make decisions for the company daily,,,and they must be the right ones,,,or else you would not be where you are today,,so you are older and wiser now,,,
