2 nights left in new york. my room is half packed, and half a scattered mess. i'm realizing i probably need some kind of strange vaccinations and medication if i'll be in kenya for 6 months, so am franticly making dr's apointments and other last minute arrangements - very organized, as always. the suspicious spots on my leg from thailand are finally fading, thankfully, so i at least i can now leave my house with shorts on, which is helpful when its 90 degrees out. since i've been back, the past two weeks in ny have been pretty much, nothing but awesome. gorgeous weather, catching up with old friends, late nights on the roof, soccer games outside, bbqs that never really end, and everything else that will make me miss ny even more.
i'm still not exactly sure where i'll end up for the next 6 months. some people (mainly my mom) find this absurd, 'how can you not know??' ' how can they not tell you??'. it actually doesn't really occur to me that this is an odd thing, although i'm realizing now, i guess it probably is. i guess that's what consulting does to you. i don't really expect any kind of certainty, at all really. if there was, it would most likely be false certainty, and i'd be nothing but suspicious. it makes it more exciting...or something. but, from what i can tell, i'll probably be in africa - this could be south africa, but most likely kenya. i may also be in the philippines, or i maybe in both. either way, i'll be in southern california first for a few weeks first, and london for a few days after that, and hopefully, by that point, i will know a bit more.
this is more like a test post, as i haven't really left yet. and the more i write, the more i will ramble on about how much i'm going to miss everyone and everything that is new york. there really is no other city that matches it. but, i've been anxious to try something new for a while, and it's time to explore a bit more, for now.
