[ blurry, messy hair photo #2]
i am done. today i unoffically finished my job. i hiked to class in the snow, and only one woman showed up. my other student had phoned earlier to tell me that she wouldn't be in the rest of the week. well, student #2 decided that she would take the rest of the week off as well.
sooo. i'm done. 2 years of this, and i'm out with a whimper, a half-assed, " nice to to meet you". and that's fine by me. i stopped living in this world and caring about this job months ago. i'm tired of being a ghost. it's going to be weird and wonderful to be back to reality, feeling something other than numbness. ( if numbness can be felt?)
there will be no memory of me in this place. or of this place in me.
tomorrow begins the end of my paacking procrastination. can you fit your life into 2 suitcases? well, i'm gonna try. ok, how's that for a question: you are leaving house and home and everything you know behind, and you only get 2 suitcases, and one carry-on. what do you bring?
reasons i'm glad i'm coming home:
#5. best goddamn university system in the world

You lie, you will always remember your journeys out to the distance asian land. it will forever be engraved in my brain as the place where i finally gained some sense of motivation and self understanding that only solitude and boredom can bring. Dont you love trying to pack everything in a tight spot? It makes you realize how much you really need to live and in the spur of the moment, what you can toss out that you couldnt in 3 years (or two in your case) of living. Materials arent us.

hmmm I'd pack some books, my cd wallet and discman... clothes.. and thats it... photos... having to think about this has made me realise how much I have detached myself from material things... whata relief!
