I know this may not be the case for most students here, but I have to say -- while basking in the comfort of my parents' house, heater and electric blanket on full -- I have to say that I love the rain. I love that in Dunedin, even though it's utterly freezing half the year, it doesn't rain much per se, so when it does you appreciate it that much more. Like an old friend who lives half way across the world but has come to visit for a couple of days -- just long enough to remember only the best about them.
Unless you're actually outside in the rain, which I try to avoid as much as possible, it really is lovely. I love the sound the rain makes as it downpours onto your roof; it's worthy of it's own Hemingway-esque poem.
I don't know why but I had the worst headache today and just couldn't concentrate at all. I actually started to fall into deep sleep a couple times during lectures. Could it be I'm going through some sort of withdrawal because I didn't have any coffee today? Surely not. I may enjoy my coffee, but I'm not... dependent... hmmm.... Maybe I should test it out and try not having coffee all week and see how I fare. Or maybe not.
I've been catching up on my US Presidential Election news of late, and am kind of worried and slightly disappointed at how it's turning out. I just hope that Clinton and Obama don't do anything to jeopardise the best chance of a democratic win. I'm still waiting for Al, but at this point I'm gonna stop holding my breath. Kirsty's promised to get the sixth season of West Wing out for me while I'm recuperating from my surgery in a couple weeks -- definitely something to look forward to.
I can't believe this year is almost over. I mean, it practically is already. Crazy. How did it get to be August so quickly??
