Hello everyone! Tomorrow I leave for Bern and won't be back until Sunday, so I figured I would throw a short thing into the cyberspace to tide you all over.
Things are continuing to be great. We're definitely getting into the academic part of the semester more! I have a 10 page paper due the Wednesday after I get back from Bern about threats to international security in the 21st century. I'm writing about small arms proliferation, which is totally fascinating. I love being so interested in what I'm studying! It just makes life so much easier. Also we're working on our proposals for our Independent Study Project, which is the 30 page paper due at the end of the semester. It's kind of intense, but we're managing to keep relaxed :)
As I was falling asleep last night, this song came on my iPod, and it just felt so right. It made me reflect on myself and where I've come from and all the people who have touched my life. The lyrics just are so accurate to any doubts or sadness in my life. (Also, the song makes me think of the first time I watched "Away We Go" with my mom and we got all teary eyed together.) Here is the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy8oKasuXVU and here are the lyrics:
"Feel I'm on the verge of some great truth
Where I'm finally in my place
But I'm fumbling still for proof
And it's cluttering my space
Casting shadows on my face
I know I have a strength to move ahead
But I can hardly leave my room
So I'll sit perfectly still, and I'll listen for a tune
While my mind is on the moon
And if I stumble
And if I stall
And if I slip now
And if I should fall
And if I can't be all that I could be
Will you, will you wait for me?
Because everywhere I seem to be
I am only passing through
I dream these days about the sea
Always wake up feeling blue
Wishing I could dream of you
So if I stumble
And if I fall
And if I slip now
And lose it all
And if I can't be all that I could be
Will you, will you wait for me?
And wait for me
Won't you wait for me?
Please wait for me
Oh, wait for me."
-Alexi Murdoch, "Wait"
I can say no more...
ReplyDeleteWhen you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
Awwww, Dada, that was the best response ever :) Went to Lucerne this weekend and had the most incredible flashbacks when I stepped out of the train station. Memories of my first taste of Europe! Also, I am about 90% positive I saw the little sidewalk cafe where we had awesome pizza on our first or second day there. No spargel for me this time around, just delicious risotto...I was proud of the upgrade. But what I'm saying is I thought of you guys the whole time!
