So much has happened in the first 59 days! With my adjustment to a strange continent, my full class schedule, and a jam-packed travel agenda, it seems like I've accomplished a great deal in 2 months. I've reached the top of the hill and today I begin my descent.
The total lack of sunshine tells me it's quickly becoming winter outside (or maybe just that I'm in England). The onset of the wind and chill alert me that I'll be leaving very soon. 59 days... the blink of an eye. Over these next 8 weeks, I have 5 research papers to write, a load of lectures and classes to attend, and 2 more trips to take. I have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks. It seems like I've reached that Roman wall in York and I'm about to hop over the parapet I once looked through, never to go back to the other side.
Concordia just finished their first quarter as well, allowing me to keep pace with what's going on back at my home institution. Keeping pace seems to be a way of life over here. Time won't slow down, and neither do the English. But according to the great philosopher Ferris Bueller, "Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it." 59 more days... Let's all enjoy them.
