Last night we were chatting outside, and both of us mentioned that we were feeling kind of glum.
Being we are both pretty enthusiastic people, and typically quite cheerful, this was kind of odd.
Of course there is plenty of explanation for it:
- Finals are coming up
- We spent a week in the south of France where the weather was gorgeous
- The journey from Toulouse to Edinburgh was 33 hours
- We are now back in Scotland which is colder, cloudier, and rainier
- We have to study like mad for two weeks
- Classes being over means less-regularly seeing our friends
- The semester ending means the return home is just around the corner
Yeah, it's not mystery why we are feeling a bit down.
However, I am determined to make the best of these last few weeks here.
Because even if the weather in Edinburgh isn't as sunny as France, it still has its charm and my disposition shouldn't change with the weather.
Being that I'm fairly busy this week (with my most difficult final coming up first), I plan on giving updates about these last few weeks when I can devote more attention to it.
Pictures and stories to come next week. I just wanted to assure you all that I am alive and well.
And I am.
Wish me luck on finals!
