6 months here



As the sun sets over Alliance House (pic is view from my bedroom window!), I reflect on how it was 6 months ago today that I was moving in. The year is flying by! And just as it was a warm, sunny day when I moved in, today was also nice and bright. I have yet to experience London's horrible gray, rainy winter as promised. I can maybe count on under 2 hands the number of days the weather's been really bad. Apparently this winter's been the UK's warmest on record. Go global warming!...Well, no, not really. Everyone needs to see An Inconvenient Truth and start taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint!

Now looking forward to my Spring Break, which begins Tuesday and which comprises Gretchen Gone Wild with travel plans. 4 countries (France, Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland) in 5 weeks (oh and also working on my thesis).
