Caitlyn's Bed

So this past week I moved into my friend, Caitlyn's room. She live in this adorable house and has a very spacious room with a comfy bed. But for some bizarre reason I have the most weird dreams when sleeping there. They are dreams where you panic the entire time. The first night in her bed, I dreamed that I had flown to Ethiopia on an emergency because a kid at Layla house was in trouble, and I was freaking out the entire time because the next day my summer school classes started and I had no way of getting back to the USA in 12 hours. The second day I had a nightmare. I was getting married in 24hrs and was 8 or 9 months pregnant. I feel like I wake up every morning thankfully it was only a dream...and NOT REALITY...but when dreaming it feels like reality. I wake up oh so very thankful.
who knows...it maybe stress, or the actual bed...haha...caitlyn's bed...wonder what dream is next...

Finals...THEN SUMMA' and Grandpas

Its been a struggle staying up in my classes this term. The first six weeks were filled with culture shock, no matter how much I tried to deny it...and them my usual procrastination skills kicked in. haha. So here I am on a Wednesday night cramming for three finals - human osteology, human biological variation and diseases of Africa...ugh...I can do it though. But after tomorrow...I just have to sleep. Anyways, enough about classes. My friends are flying the nest this summer. Anna is in Ecuador, Caitlyn is in Spain, Rachel is in Switezerland, Jenny is off to the San jaun island and then Italy (bye bye lova'...six months is too long) and Amelie and I are in good ole Eugene. I will be taking classes...I know nothing new...but at least I will graduate. YEAH! Its scary to know that I have only one more year of college. I have to get ready for grad school, or something. its a scary world, but all i want to do is think about SUMMER. I got a super cute place in the alley between the co-ops...and I am living with NATALIE...who I am super in love with and completely jealous of due to her amazing art skills and ability to play the piano. Plus she is super tight and relaxed(paradoxical?), and easy to click with. its a tiny place, honestly, super tiny, but the two of us can make it a very fun pad. I'll be moving in pretty much on July 1st, but she doesn't come down till September...sad! Anyways, I get go home for a week to hang with Ama, Buwa and Raj. They started catering, so the day after i arrive, I will be cooking for a party of 80...yumm and fun...I have the whole week. I'll meet up with Melat's fam...I heard she has final decided to come to Salem from Ethiopia, she is dealing with alot. Its hard transitioning...but she has a great fam.
Also I hope to see Pam, do art, read, and hang with the bro. Life will be good. Then back to the Eug.
I got my Ambassador job...working with Anna Banana next year...haha. It will be pretty crazy... the two of us behind the same desk...crazy!!!!
Who knows what the summer holds...fun times, work, and just a whole lot of sun...and hopefuly relaxing. I just want to soak it all in...capture the time in a frame and scarpbook for my old days...haha. and also I hope Abi and Tsion will be coming...i miss them oh so dearly...if only i could do something to speed up the process. Till then, I will enjoying summer and hoping that they are ready to come home.
Earlier today i was thinking about my Grandparents. Its been nine + years since I last saw them. I heard my grandad isn't doing great...but at least he has other family around. I remember him and I picking mangoes together from the tree in the front yard, him telling me ghost stories on the roof of the Biratnager house, and riding around town on his motorbike. It had black with blue highlights. He even had a small helmet to fit me. I try to find him in others, but its hard...I really don't remember his personality, just his gentle hands and warm smile. haha...grandpas, aren't they just loving and adorable. hopefully I will go back soon. Before its too late... but now i really need to study!!!
