When you land in Amsterdam, the pilot says "Flight attendants, prepare for landing," and you don't see land for another 10 whole minutes! You stare at the white-cap waves and think to yourself, "Are we landing in the water??"
I saw amazing clouds and light today as the sun rose and we passed over England.
I saw amazing white, cloudy light from the three picture windows of my room in the staff house.
There is a dentist's office in the building directly across.
There is a Chinese Indian (?) restaurant across and below.
My roommate is amazing! Her name is Francien (Francine) and apart from getting lost in this amazing new place, meeting her was the best part of my first day!
the dew of sleep that has been longing to fall and rest lays heavy on my eyes after endless travel now has it's way and must come to it's still and quiet slumber
more later...

Maybe I'm Craaazzzzeee...
Gotta love Gnarls Barkley...
I am getting ready to leave and feel like I'm going Crazy! Literally, on Wednesday I was running around the house and this was my thought process: "Gotta wrap Karen's presents where's some paper no paper ok gotta find cool magazine cutouts tape stickers oh gosh my room's a mess i need to clean the bathroom before i leave where are all my boxes going to fit which books should i take wrapping presents wrapping presents wrapping presents oh crap there's so much laundry to do i wish mom was here maybe she'll come back Saturday instead of Sunday oh man i need to change shirts what am i going to pack oh shoot need to call Glenn need to wrap presents need to remember to take shirts pack to the Glen need to make a card for Renell where's the paper where's a sharpie what should I write oh gotta wrap wrapping wrappity wrap did i eat lunch how many euros do i need"
and so on and so forth
I was having a hard time breathing! But now I feel much better thanks to God and Allison Daniell.
"I remember when,
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind,
there was something so magic about that place,
even your emotions had an echo,
and so much space..."
cheers!
