How many miles must we march...
Summer time in the city!
This has been one of the best summer's so far. Summer is this extrenuous force that can not be stopped, hot summer days, the sun burning well into the evening hours and keeping the night warm. And here more than anywhere the energy hangs in the air and then explodes into an evening storm, lighting up the skys.
Today we walked out of class around 2, big dark clouds pulling a curtain over the desert sun. It felt like 8 at night. I spent the afternoon at UNM against the large glass window, the storm erupting infront of me. Went home a couple hours later, the clouds had cleared, and I went for a walk through the air cooled by a summer storm.
Anyway, this summer has been great-- I was nervous about being away from the ocean- but New Mexico has presented more opportunities and summer blessings than I had expected. The last five weeks can be accounted for by two weeks of tennis lessons, 35 batting cage tokens, 3 peaks, 100 miles in the saddle, 50 kilometers of pavement, carrot cakesm, a season of Scrubs, pediatrics and clinic visits. I'm going to have a hard time leaving this place-- its the first place that really feels like mine, and when I leave it I have no one here to come back to. NY, MN, and Norcal are all where my family moved me I did this one on my own and I feel like it is a really good fit.
I am stoked to be writing the survival guide for next years incoming class- really- I will post it when I get through...
