Yippee! I'm going to DC
Yippee! I'm going to DC tomorrow for a weekend of friends, frivolity, and freaking. I'm going to see Jim, Frank, and Jimbo. I'm so excited to be taking a trip, going to some new spaces, hanging out with old and new friends. I'll even be going to a modified PCV reunion with Kristie and Michael on Friday.
A friend of mine in Tajikistan reminded me of how I was living less than two years ago. In Uzbekistan, I couldn't take things like heat, food, or electricity for granted. But I also always had time for books, friends, and silly things like sunsets. My whole life was at a different pace. Now I watch the days spin away in a dizzying flurry of cell phone calls, email, and waiting on the subway. Both ways of life are good, both are bad. I don't think one is better than the other.
