It's been two years since my first interview at Oxford. I am also 19 and a half today. It's amazing how far we've all come in that time- how we've grown as people, as individuals, as adults. I can't believe that many of my friends are already 20, and I will be 20 in 6 months time!
I went for a walk today, and sat on a wall overlooking the lake. In front of me, spread out in glory, was the lake, with the snow- covered Alps directly behind. Behind me, the Jura, fresh with their first snow of the season. I've missed Geneva and its beauty so much. It's so pure, and quiet, and isolated.
In more amusing news, I never did tell you what my welcome home from my brother was. Two plastic cockroaches in my bed and a plastic centipede on my mirror. I guess it never occured to him that the person who always saves him from spiders (i.e. me) wouldn't actually be scared by plastic bugs, but hey; it's the thought that counts, right? ;)
