Places

It has almost reached the middle of my final semester at TMC. What was once the beginning of a new chapter in my life back in August 06 is now quickly coming to an end. Every season is a new beginning and contains new obstacles to overcome, routines to master...and once those are completed, it is time to think ahead to the next conflict, development and resolution. It's funny how life really is just a series of short stories. Perhaps it is one way that God demonstrates his grace so that we are not overwhelmed at once by the pressures in life such as relationships, plans for the future, etc.

It's usually during these transitional times that I want to run away. I don't care what I have with me, I don't care who I leave behind. I just want to go...

to Paris-Here, I will have the most cliche Parisian experience. I will drink espresso at a little sidewalk cafe and read a book...or write my own.

to Italy-Here, I will visit the old country where antique stone homes are surrounded by acres of rolling vineyards. I will help pick the grapes and then stamp them with my feet. And after that, I will sit down with a friendly Italian family and eat a meal of raviolli's and lasagna...accompanied, of course, with a nice bottle of red wine...and freshly baked garlic bread.

to Switzerland- I don't want to be here for too long...just long enough to get a massage and buy some chocolate.

to Australia- to snorkel in the warm water and bathe in the sand...I'd go horseback riding on the beaches and talk to the natives.

to Chicago, Boston, upstate New York- because I have never been to these places and I want to go. I want to go and be a bohemian...it is nearly impossible to be a bohemian in Los Angeles

to name a few places.

At least I get to go to Texas in October and Oregon in November. That will be nice...
