In keeping with the post title, I'm currently reading this, and it is very, very good. This is what good science writing is all about - taking a topic that is intrisically boring, and adding clarity and passion.

The recent developments have been indeed been drastic.

I'm overwhelmed at (many) times. But this gritty little godforsaken city hasn't bested me yet.

My best friend recently moved close by. We walked on the cobblestones and I told her, now you live only ten minutes from all this. This view will bring you contentment. This walk will do you good. Only afterward did I realize I was speaking for myself.

My expensive, stressful trip is over. Now I can look forward to a long, hot summer.

At least the location's good.

ps - I never want to be a (long distance) bridesmaid again.
