excitement and trepidation



excitement

the feeling of lively and cheerful joy; "he could hardly conceal his excitement when she agreed"

trepidation

a state of alarm or dread; apprehension

not necessarily feeling more of the former or less of the latter. at this point it's pretty much a tie game. i am pumped to meet the other volunteers and see the south america, but i am totally ambivalent when it comes to leaving the casa de skylake, the friends, the family, the teacher, the pup, and the conclusion of the fifth and final season of the greatest show in the history of television.

i did however receive an unprecedented accurate fortune, though i already knew what it foretold. still, rather impressive that a mass-produced cookie could tell me something about my life. i genuinely look forward to finding out what significance the numbers 8, 14, 16, 24, and 33 will have for me in the coming months.

paz for now.

  1. I reiterate my colleague's COMMENT. See you in Mexico!

    Truly, I'm sorry to see you go albeit a temporary departure. Its not just the promise of baseball organization that i'm giving up here. Its the pepper you throw against the dugout of our friendship. That doesn't sound like it but it was designed as a positive thing. Goddamn! It is so early...

    In summation, Chile, Chile, Rockabilly! Go Team Chereal.
