Its 10:53. I have to be awake in five hours to go get on a plane.

Too bad my sleep schedule still hasn't reset itself from finals week.

Regarding Tali: all paperwork has been signed, all checks (save one) have been mailed. Everything is ready for the baby parsnip. I'm so excited. I'm so apprehensive. I believe Hill and I call this emotion "blargh." So much has gone into making these couple of months a reality and I get on a plane tomorrow for a massive opportunity.

But there is a part of me that would rather be on a plane to Dallas, to spend a couple of months with Hill and the little snap and just be a dog person again for awhile. Just take some time to be Cas. Not Casana M. Popp, IUG Student of Athropology and Classics. Not Cassie, the twenty something woman who's taking twentysomething credits and is eating popcorn and beer for dinner.

Just Cas. Who likes sunshine on her face and grass under her toes and a good RPG to sink her teeth into.

But this is really exciting and I'm literally working in the shadows of ancient pyramids, with cutting-edge (haha obsidian joke) technologies. I'm so excited. I'm such a nerd! But, I still can't wait to be in Decatur again, with my love and our bizarre little family.

So cheers to Teotihuacan and the Agility Commune and eventually Belize! Just taking things one little step at a time.

Restlessly,

Cas
