Golden.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leafs a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

-Robert Frost

I realized I may not have time these next couple days to post, so I thought I’d do a quick update….

Tomorrow: my first 3-hour essay final.

Friday: my next 3-hour essay final and then I am done! This also marks the first day someone from our close group of friends leaves to go back to the U.S.

Saturday: Emily’s birthday! This will be both a celebration and a farewell.

Sunday: leaving this country that I have absolutely fallen in love with.

Now: bedtime. :)
