Something's Coming

Could it be?

Yes it could.

Somethin's comin'

Something good.

If I can wait.

Somethin's coming

I don't know 

What it is

But it is

It's gonna be great.

Something IS COMING. Perhaps that sounds like a super lame statement. Obviously something is coming. Itak, Nicole. But what? Where to go from here?

Last week I found out that I will NOT be receiving a Boren Fellowship. Bummer. Škoda. I've been coasting for a while, perhaps even riding the wave of scholarships and grants to Slovenia, but I guess even Johnny Tsunami has to fall off sometimes- and I guess I've gotten much better in time at dealing with Emergency Swimming Situations.

Truth is, while I received an initial shock at my plans finding themselves up in the air, a little bit of excitement has began. Ok, a lot. Like, I couldn't sleep on Wednesday night because I was so excited about whatever is next. I might be here (I'm speaking to my principal tomorrow about my chances at getting hired even if the project I work for completely loses funding) in Slovenia- working part time and finishing my thesis... and I might not. I'm hoping for wisdom and clarity in this time of chaos, but have miraculously already received peace in the knowledge that I am an adventurist- if I go where I think I should go, it is going to be an adventure.
