paradox

It's funny how I am simultaneously excited and sad. The emotional pendulum swings between the two extremes several times a day. One minute I'll be hyper over my Budapest friends, or my amazing teaching schedule -- and the next, I'll be bawling. Yesterday, I am ashamed to admit, I found myself crying as I watched Independence Day. You read that right -- the Will Smith movie about aliens trying to destroy the Earth made me cry like a little girl. three times.

I think it might be cathartic to pick a real tear-jerker and just cry myself out, because I am not looking forward to the flood when I have to start saying goodbyes this week!
