I cannot believing I will be venturing north for the entire summer. But really, I must. I have been job hunting forever and this opportunity sort of fell into my lap, so off I go. I will earn a good wage and make new friends, and no doubt miss hours of sun. I am rather sad about that because I have dirty blonde hair which usually lightens in the summer and this year it will just get darker. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers. I am also not anticipating the giggles of my dear cousins about my real politik for going somewhere. Have they learned nothing? I've been on three different expidentures and nothing has come out of them. The other day one of them said, "Well I heard so and so is leaving for two years to go to [insert Asian country here.]" She looked right at me as she said it, as if his leaving has anything to do with me. I felt rather offended but realized that none of them are worth my anger.
I should go, and stop acting like such a victim in everything. I really have been luck, if that's what it is,
Manon
