more on the rainyness

what a devious little thing this mind is. today when i was driving on el camino, turning left on to page mill, i suddenly had a vision flash before my eyes. of bonn, in the cold, rainy/snowy mornings. it would just be getting light outside, and i'd be on my way to school. all cars would have their lights on, of course. the roads were all narrow - small town, after all. and there would be buses slowing traffic all along the way... (sigh)

i was so averse to moving to bonn, i remember. an 11th grader, enjoying school life in every way possible - academically, extra-curricularly, politically, personally - it was the 'perfect' life. was forced to tear myself away from it all and move to bonn, to a whole new world. it took so much adjustment, but i learned early and that was good. for every change after that will always be a piece of cake (or so it has been thus far, anyway).

i loved the fall, when i first went to bonn. there were maple leaves all over - when i first realized that they weren't just in story-books. and then there was snow, on the 18th of november '96. and it was beautiful...

anyway, enough nostalgia for now. i have to go back to the world of bugs and swat some by the end of the day. talk about rude awakenings :).

actually, talk about 'brewed awakening'... maybe another day :).
