Horoscope for Me

I don't know much about astrology (or astronomy for that matter), and I tend to be as pragmatic as they come, but while flipping through the TV Guide which covers the next 2 weeks, I happened to glance upon my horoscope, Virgo. Now, the majority of horoscopes I have read have all said the same sort of things, about doing well at work, or finding a new flame. They don't sound right to begin with, so of course,these things don't happen, not to me, in the last 20 years anyway. But the one in the TV Guide, well, it kind of does apply. At least I think it will. Here goes [with my commentary in brackets]-
Virgo:
You may not be the most adventurous member of the zodiac [I'm not, but this bit could apply to anybody],
but for the next few weeks you'll be remarkably daring.
[This part MAY actually be true. In 2 ways. First, it's remarkably daring, for boring old cornfield me, to do this whole study abroad thing on my own. Second, what I plan on doing once I get there could also be interpreted as daring, at least for me. Bungee-jumping. Or I never in a million years thought I would snorkel or scuba, cuz, well, fish freak me out. Those mouths and scales, yuck. I've had plenty of opportunities (Bahamas, Hawaii, Fanning Island,Cali) but never even considered doing it because I'm chicken. But it's going to be offered at my upcoming Oz orientation, at the Great Barrier Reef, and I've slowly been working up the courage to take the leap, literally. I've been watching lots of nature and travel shows with diving involved. Sure, the sharks leaping out of water to eat seals aren't helping to calm me, but I'm accepting that this is something that will push my boundaries and change me and I cannot pass it up, so I'm actually planning on doing it. eek!]
According to the planets, your fortune lies in a faraway place.
[Now, this part is a bit freaky. What are the chances they knew I would be daring... in a faraway place? I could just as well be daring in the cornfields. And fortune? As in money? or will I find real happiness, a much better fortune to have, in my opinion. So yeah, this part caught my attention]

If you go there, you may not come back.
[Since they used 'may', I'm not too worried about this part coming true. My ticket is booked. But if it was true, in what capacity would I not come back? Would I just die over there, or would I, like, defy my parents and refuse to ever come back to the States (the defying would probably be scarier than death hehe). I had better have one hell of a time, to not come back home. I'm counting on it ;) ]

Although I don't "believe" in horoscopes, I sometimes read them anyway, too. I do know you're going to have a beyond-great time! Maybe when it said about not coming back it means the old you- because there'll be a new you with loads of new experiences, challenges, thoughts, etc.

I saw that show where the shark jumped up and - umm, yeah - you're definitely much braver than I.

Give us updates! (((suchie))) Have a wonderful time!

I never thought about it as the "old" me but that makes perfectly good sense. Thanks for the good wishes!! I'll try to update my new blog as much as possible. Hope you have a great summer, and I'll talk to you soon!
