Tarot
She dropped a tear more rare than pearl
I cannot help but feel sheepishly guilty that I’ve neglected to post anything – anything – at all. Having elided details about the first half of September until now, I hope I can write down some of my meditations here.
I feel slightly overwhelmed by my courseload this term, but I’m not surprised in the least. It is just as, if not more, challenging than I had predicted to juggle so many courses. I can’t really say which courses I enjoy the most, but I feel that I have a rather well-rounded group of instructors. If I weren’t so easily intimidated, I would love to meet them personally.
My extracurricular activities have kept me rather busy. I can’t really say that I didn’t expect it, but I’m surprised by the intensity with which they come at me. I worry that calls for my resignation are merely pending; I fear that I hear whispers of my incompetence echo in the hallowed halls. I hope I don’t disappoint.
Work! It’s taken so much of my time, but it’s really rather rewarding if frustrating. I’m currently on the fence about tutoring – I feel as if I don’t have the time but I really enjoy doing it. I’m sure my students can find other tutors but that thought doesn’t assuage my guilt-ridden mind.
At any rate, it’s time to keep my chin up and get set for a very interesting term indeed. I bought a lab coat today so I finally feel as if I’m a real scientist. Huzzah!
Optimism prevails!

Reflection: I suppose this all has to do with school and work which are forthcoming. I see a lot that has to do with change and a lot that has to do with self-reflection. Looks like the fun and games are over, it’s going to be hard work!

A close friend of mine recently announced her immediate departure to study law in Hong Kong for the next four years. I continue to vacillate among feelings of disbelief, of delight and of dumb shock.
It’s strangely illuminating, having someone leave my life so suddenly and so immediately. It makes me feel like a fixed point in time and space, anchored to my life in Vancouver while someone travels across time (differences) and space to settle down somewhere else. I feel strangely like the Time Traveler’s Wife, inappropriately enough.
I was never someone good at saying farewell.
Well, well, go and play till the light fades away

Hm? How unexpectedly fortuitous! I’m curious as to what the influence of the Eight of Cups presents and what the Seven of Wands brings but the Hanged Man and the Magician seem well-placed. How lucky I must be to have both the Ten of Cups and the Ten of Pentacles hanging around!
Something tells me that this will be a magical time. I can’t waste it!
