Dear Diary,

Back to business as usual. First day of the week for me. 15 messages in my voicemail greeted me the first thing in the morning. Returned all my calls and took care of some of the emails. Then I helped Amy with her questions on cases she worked on. Got back to my office and about 7 more messages flashed in my inbox. How was that possible? I didn't get a chance to answer / return any more phone calls because I needed to catch up on my work.

Co-workers were pretty excited about my citizenship test and they wanted to go out to celebrate some time. I think it is a good idea, something fun to do together. Quite strange for me, soon to become a citizen of this great country. Never thought I would even live here let alone to become a citizen. But this is a wonder of life. I guess Todd would have said the same thing about Thailand...the land that is so far far away and now it is his second home and his second family.
