Here is a run down of what I have been up to this summer.
I was in hot and dusty pre-olympic Athens for one month living at the Orion with a bunch of models and lounging up the stairs in the metro station on my way to gazilion castings a day. I had the chance to spend some time on a couple of Islands and the last week of July I went to Istanbul for some work then took a ten hour bus ride to Selchuk-Efes were my grade 7 teacher lives. I had a wonderful archeological adventure beneath a ruin following underground tunnels and searching for treasures. After that I spent one week with my pregnant sister then joined my family.....
My family and I were in my home town visiting my relatives and (I was chilling) teaching English in a kids summer camp. We left the north of quebec this afternoon and after 11 hours of driving in a van we made it. We were 9 people, a dog, a guitar and a couple of matresses. Tomorrow we are leaving early for another 5 hours to my sister's place near Toronto. She just had a baby last week!!!! So I am reading, writing, learning how to play the guitar, being available as the oldest of seven and soaking in all my family's love. At times I wondered what the point of my existance was and worked through the insicurity of my life and now I am poised and ready for action. In the next week I plan on heading back to Europe first to Belgium (If I book the job I am on option for) Then Italy to pick up the clothes I left behind when I got conned into marrying an Italian after one week of meeting him. I did not get married I just lost alot of time and money. Oh and maybe some superficial friends. Welcome to my university of life. E dopo, tripping in London for a month or so to set my foot in the commercial and advertising "sterling" market.
I have not reached nirvana although I have read through most of the new testament during my summer starting from the back and I do not have so many worries since I float around with my family as if on a mission from point a to point be. Although I was on the phone trying to figure out how to retreive my belongings from Milan everyday. that was a little frustrating at times. It is nice to be in the cocoon of my family. I have a couple of more days then I will take off like a rocket and reach another stratosphere where every inch counts and my dreams are eased on the chance scale of missed blessings.
I will call you soon. I miss you and want to see you soon. My U.S visa starts to work only in October
