Atlanta, GA. shocked at the outcome of our presidential election, and full of sorrow for it, i am thankful that i will be soon leaving the U.S., and perhaps shall extend my journey to the other side of the earth to four years, beginning on inauguration day. always the optimist, i sincerely doubted that we'd be so fucked.
alas. i'm here for two more days and will drive to Arlington on Saturday. Mike and Lori have asked me to stay. I have had to seriously consider it and I've not made a decision. I'm torn about it; it pains me to leave and it pains me to go. i was in a bit of emotional turmoil today, especially because school with mica today was nearly unbearable. i never wished or a school day to end before, like i did today. hard. but harder still to worry about finding the right person to work with her to take my place.

had two small world experiences today. Click the link to read my smallworld blog.
