Okay...so I've had my first serious hangover...and my sister and I were joking about severe depression on a phone call a week ago (which really is not a joke...has some context, you'll just have to take my word for it)...
But talking to D yesterday ended as a hot mess...with puffy eyes. I'm SO EXCITED for Diane & Adam and their upcoming wedding and I can't wait to be home and be a part of it...but I feel like I'm missing out on so much in the meantime. She was home over the weekend to find a church, reception place, dress...check, check, check, she found it all! Super impressive...but I started asking about a shower and bachelorette...definitely will have to get creative with these standard bridal celebrations in a very short time. I really want to be the best maid of honor ever for her...open to suggestions if you have any ;)
I don't have class on Mondays right now...there are a handful of student groups that meet on Mondays, and yesterday I chose to go to the Buddhist meditation and Dharma talk. I almost started crying at the Dharma talk, too! It was a beautiful talk.
AND...Happy Belated International Women's Day! I saw a blurb in the student paper about an evening of lectures to celebrate...plus it was in the brand new super fancy law building...so I hung out with feminists for a few hours last night. Seems very grad school appropo. The lectures were very thought provoking...and it ended with a musical duo...reminiscent of an Aborignal Indigo Girls...and their music was gorgeous.
Okay...off to class!
Cheers!

Hang in there Beth. You are doing amazing things and that must somehow make up for missing the mundane at home, even if it exciting wedding stuff. Keep on living that international traveler/student life for me!
