Reading (For Dummies)

Moving away

Tomorrow morning I catch a flight back to the United States. I'm heading back early and lying to my girlfriend (and hence posting secret messages on my blog that will be revealed later, since she reads this). The plan is to get all my paperwork and crap sorted out in the two weeks before her birthday, and then to surprise her on my birthday with my sudden arrival. I only hope I can find a job and stuff...

It's sure going to be nice to actually see my girlfriend once in a while. Though moving is definitely a bummer. Ferri and I had coffee this afternoon, for the last time. Hopefully I will meet him again sometime; he's the first "real" person I have met in a long time...very earthy, ourdoorsy, and painfully aware of social intricacies. Kind of reminds me of myself in a way. Saying goodbye to friends like him really sucks. Well, at least I have a reason to come back sometime (or to go to Austria again). It just is a bit painful to have such bonding moments with another introvert when you're leaving. But hey, that's the way we operate.
