Nessy!

I can vividly remember my freshman year RA warning me during orientation about how fast college would go by.

I am still wondering where freshman year went, let alone sophomore year and London. It was here a minute ago! Now they’re telling me I have to go home in a few weeks, er, well, more like days at this point. This is mysterious to me.

Anyways, this week was a rush of uneventfulness and projects and papers and internship stuff. My presentation on the Republic of Cyprus (or, thanks to Turkey, lackthereof) went well, my paper on Westminster perhaps less so. The weather has been gorgeous though, I walked home yesterday through the park and then stopped by the pond to read because I didn’t want to go inside. I am subsequently sporting a rosy glow that is in fact the first stages of sunburn. Only I could get sunburned in the British Isles.

This afternoon we leave for Scotland via train for the weekend. I am going to find the Loch Ness monster, which I have been preparing for ever since we did that ridiculously extensive reading unit on it in the fourth grade. Then we get back and muddle through a last week of classes before exams and before I know it I’ll be back in Philly. I’m struggling to wrap my head around that.
