  (cherry blossoms on the tidal basin 2006)

  - i had the strangest encounter this morning. actually, i pulled into the parking garage later than usual due to an accident on the road on the way to work. anyways, i was taking the elevator down (which i usually don’t do; i take the stairs) with this elderly man. we made small chit-chat (which i also usually don’t do; i very much keep to myself). anyways, we started talking about work in general and i mentioned that my fellowship was ending this month. for 40 minutes, we talked about school and his PhD training experience; alot of the things he went through, i’m going through now. i know that my family and friends know and feel what i’ve gone through this past year, but this elderly man, sam, well he just understood; the depression, the disappointment and just trying to keep your head above water. i’m just really blessed that i had an opportunity to speak with him. he told me to keep the faith and good luck. such an awesome experience.
  - the cherry blossoms are almost in bloom. jam is coming into town at the end of next week, flying into regan. he usually doesn’t fly, but drive, so i was suprised. he wants me to come down into the city, meet him and see the blossoms. it’s nice, but i feel strange about it. i know he wants to see me and i want to see him, but it’s strange.
  - i’ve just been tired lately. i’ve been taking my vitamins, but i feel like i have no energy. i keep on waking up late and rolling out of bed. i definitely need this time off next month.

  more later.
  peace.

Blah blah blah
