overnight,
BROOKLYN, NY | THE BK HOUSE รจ
my life changed dramatically. among the more surreal, i am no longer employed. in fact, officially, i am on an "educational leave of absence."
but aside from my workforce participation ending, i said farewell to dear and close friends, had my final deborah burger, and even shaved off all of my hair. consider the latter a very felicity-esque, coming-of-age, starting a fresh new life reaction to change.
in fourteen minutes, a chinese man picks us up from sunset park and transports us across two bridges to newark international airport. i'll arrive oakland just before midnight, have one day to un- and re-pack, then jet set once again on united 867 to hong kong, continuing on singapore 891 to singapore. (david, i hope you have our flight details.)
so begins two years of "pure joy," "the best time of your life," "nothing but fun." (those are actual quotes.) i'm ready for them, and i promise to live them up to the fullest.
yet another exciting chapter begins, today.

August is a time of segues. Hey, I visited Brown last weekend! Nice place, quaint, comfortable, a place for reflection... and that's just what it says in the brochures! Anyways, good luck in your future endeavors...

I wish you nothing but luck and happiness! Not to get all Whitney Houston about it.
Post photos of the shaved head! Love it!
i'm sorry i haven't gotten back to you about your decision (which i'll assume you bainfully decided). my workload increased a bit last week when my mentor decided to give me some projects at the last minute. the weather in dallas has been pretty yucky, but overall not so bad. have a good vacay in Asia.
by the way, i'll need evidence of your "purported" shaving to really believe it. ;P
