Today was interesting. We went to see the terra cotta warriors (again; they don't change), followed by Bampo Neolithic Village, which was an ancient matriarchal society preservation or something like that. I only got one awesome photo, I think.
Tracy and I spent the late afternoon editing in our respective rooms, then had dinner/ice cream in the Starbucks plaza area and worked on our wavelength. Following that, we proceeded to get our arses creamed by Rio and Elliott (mostly Rio) at pool. But it's OK, I had a great time being snarky without getting called on it. ;|
I'm really enjoying myself these days. It's hard work, but Tracy is a good mentor, the people are really pleasant to work with, and after all these months, I finally feel like I have a bit of confidence for the future now. God's good to me to give me so much encouragement through people and circumstances and opportunities around me. And I get to talk to him about random people I encounter everywhere. I like my life.
Tracy asked me where I see myself in 10 years. Yeah, married, yeah, family, ... the photography thing, yes... but I guess he doesn't see how BV fits in with that. Haha, I guess I don't either, but I feel like I don't have as concrete a dream [yet] as he did, so until I can be sure I know what I want, I honestly don't like locking myself down. He suggested I just go off to somewhere like Shanghai and look for a job there, just as an experiment. He is the first "grown-up" who has seriously suggested such to me, so I am inclined to think I'm not as nutty as most perceive me to be. (He has street cred in my eyes) It all now remains to be seen whether or not 1) I am still that adventurous and 2) people I love will let me pull it off. Meh, I really still wanna go to Asia with BV. Or something. I want to try things!! I know, focus on your thing and go for it - but I donno what "my thing" is!
I realize how incoherent I am these days. Sorry, I'm busy and tired. Will recap later.
