Pre-Trip

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

I’m horrible at keeping up with a blog, I am aware. The last entry was posted about a month ago! Sorry.
Anyway, I’d like to thank everybody who commented on that last entry. All your comments were very sweet and helpful, not to mention supportive, so thanks, thanks a lot.

Today, a week before the not-so-expected flight to the United States, when I expected everything to be extremly normal, my father received a call from our family in Córdoba, letting us know his grandfather (that means my great grandfather) passed away earlier today. My dad left inmediatly to the province (many, many kilometers away) to assist to his funeral. I’m really, really touched about this loss because, despite the fact I barely saw him lately (just some summers), I used to be at his home all the time when we still went regularly there. It’s sad.

And talking about the trip that’s one week away (the 24th), I don’t feel much excited about it. I mean, who wouldn’t be? We’re going to Disney World! It’s every kid’s dream, more for people who would never get the chance (I felt I was one of them).
People around me might think it’s I don’t want to go (I do, believe me, I do), but it’s an strategy, making myself believe everything will be just as normal as usual, so when the time comes, it’ll be even more exciting. It’s working fairly well, I can tell you! So yes, I’m and not excited about it. Heh.

My fears about our death are gone by now. Everytime I have these strange feelings I myself make up they go away moments before the thing happens. What makes me think the more remote, the bigger the fear is. That’s a relief, you know, because if I had to fly with that fear I wouldn’t enjoy it as much as I’d like to.

This week is going to be intense… very intense! Details shall follow, keep an eye here this week! I was also planning to transcribe a few paragraphs from a book that I found quite interesting and wise, but as it contains a complete different background from this post, it’ll be posted this week hopefully, because I’ll try to go deep on the subject. I’m mysterious as that! This week, yes. You won’t believe it — two posts in a month! Heh. It’ll hopefully be that way.
