what's been up
Hey kids, sorry for not updating at all. The May Dip was a blast; photos are in an album, rather appropriately titled 'May Dip' at this site. It was really cold, and I got salt water up my nose, but I don't know that I've ever had so much fun in my life. A good time was had by all. I wonder if the legend from Ireland about leaving part of your soul in the sea holds true here as well. Either way, I will be coming back to St Andrews; I'm hoping I might can come for spring break next year but we shall have to see. If I can make it work, I'll make it work, as often as I possibly can. I should go ahead and start saving now!
This past week I've been more social than usual. I've finished up my assignments, and now classes in general, which is good. We had a barbecue on the beach last night, which went crazy because it started raining and we're kinda pyromaniacs. That was definitely the least environmentally friendly fire ever. We burned the foil barbecues we had bought, marshmallows, paper, toilet rolls, plastic bags, glass bottles...what a mess. And we were all soaked. Good food, good friends, nasty weather.
Today was pretty slow. I'm trying my best to avoid revising, even though I know I'll need to do it like mad. I have a lot of reading to do. I watched Spirited Away, which is a WEIRD movie, but not bad. I had a hard time following what was going on. Sam and Hanako and I split a pizza for dinner, which had pepperoni, jalapenos, onion, and mushrooms on. I didn't eat the jalapenos or half the onions but it was really good. Marmaris is becoming one of my favorite places in town very quickly--that's the fast food joint where we got the pizza.
It's strange how suddenly my opinion has changed...one week I want to go home, the next I never want to leave. I've thrown around the idea of transferring but it's just not feasible at all. Not only for the people back home that I'd be leaving, but for academic reasons and, most especially, money. I do know one thing though. I'm coming back. I couldn't not.
Still, going home will probably be good for me. I'm just slightly worried that I may have changed in some way, and that it will make things different. I don't know what I'm afraid of. I hope it's unfounded.
