Today is my unofficial day of leave (Leave MSU->LO) for Ireland. The morning passed rather uneventfully, until about 10:30, there was an abrupt darkness and rainstorm which was fun to walk into and out of.
This was the first good omen; rain on a day of departure=good experiential harvest.
On the way to the Writing Center, I saw a strange shape against the flooding Red Cedar. It was white and sharp and scary looking. I thought at first it was an emaciated swan (definitely a bad thing as far as luck goes) but in fact it was a beautiful Great Blue Heron! I think that it was fishing for its lunch, it was certainly making neck-swooping moves and little head dives towards the water, but it stopped short of putting its head in or getting in.
This was the second good omen; great blue herons, predatorial birds of elegance= I will make a killing, learning wise... and Ireland will be beautiful :).
