Hard to believe, it's time for the last update. My last weeks at St. Andrews were a juxtaposition (good scrabble word!) of beautiful weather and my own little personal raincloud of revising. A lot of stress was involved, but through studying hard and a bit of luck, all of my exams went just fine. St. Andrews has a tradition of soaking you after you take your last exam ever there, and I was no exception. The water was fortunately not too cold, and it was actually a lot of fun. Bidding farewell to my friends on the last day was a bit heartbreaking, and I hope to get to see them again. My original flight from Edinburgh to London was canceled, but I got one for the previous day with no problem, and after spending a night there, flew back home. Crossing the Atlantic was uneventful, except for an eerie series of random meetings. First I met a grad student from Virginia Beach who was going to school in Richmond who was on the same flight, then I met another girl from the same flight who was from Richmond who went to St. Andrews full time, in the line to get on the plane I spotted a girl in a W&M t-shirt, and talked to her, and finally my neighbor on the plane was a girl who lived 20 minutes away from me. When I got home, I really had forgotten how hot Maryland was, it's going to take some getting used to. I'm also working on sounding American again (trash can, not rubbish bin).
I know I haven't been the best at updating this blog, but if you're still reading it, thank you, I had a fantastic time.
Over and out.
