Teh Scottie

Every year August does this to me. It's hot. It's humid. It rains alot... and then fall comes. Just the beginning: a few leaves on a few trees change color. The stupid breeze that overwhelms me with nostalgia. Perfect weather. Blue sky, good air quality. August likes to remind me of what I leave every year now, to remind me of what I can't have for at least 2 more years.

I rode around on my motorcycle through page park and up around federal hill, and then back down woodland street towards BEHS, where on a clear day at the top of the hill you can see the lighthouse on Talcott Mountain in Simsbury. Today the air quality wasn't its best though; the farthest visible landmark was the two towers on Rattlesnake Mountain.

So yeah, I was all quiet and introspective today, packing away. I'm not really nervous or excited or anything. I mean, I've done this flight before, I've done this all before. The new exciting is going to pop up when I get settled and find out English isn't going to get me anywhere. But until then I might as well be packing to just go on a short domestic flight.

This summer I have just been pushing and pushing myself, I see a vision of who I want to be and I'm doing it, I'm going there, I'm becoming that person. But this summer has been really just about armchair daydreaming; this semester I will be faced with walking the walk. I think I'm ready? But God is really really pushing me on the finances thing right now. Gettin' me ready. But its tough.

Um....I feel like i didn't talk/see as many people as I should have before I left, but I had to get in Bristol peeps as well as phone convos with Minnesota peeps, so I did what I could. I will miss all you guyzzz!!

Oh, and for Japan I set up a blog the adress is runscottie.wordpress.com
