One more week in California. Wow. A year goes by so fast yet so slowly. I look at all the things that have happened this year and I think about how much I've changed and I wonder how I have made it through. The last four months have passed in a blur - I think that's been part of the meds I am on at the moment!

Summer has begun and the sun is guaranteed. Thanks to getting burnt rafting, I know am a very un-English brown. Last night was the ILC farewell dinner - a chance to get dressed up but also to say goodbye. This last week will be absorbed in doing my final paper, packing up my room, cleaning and laundry and saying goodbye to some very dear friends.
