I went to Ocean Park last Sunday and it was tons of fun especially being with such good friends.

It's 2:08 am right now and everything si quiet. Alex is sleeping and only the light from my desk and laptops fills the room. I can hear the shower turned on in the toilet, it's either Mike or Tony who's taking a late night wash. Looking out the window, I can see the sprinkled lights across the south tower of the dormitories, while the quadrangle downstairs is empty, resting after a bustling day.

Sometimes I just have to stop and take a deep breath in. Each day here is something new, something exciting and something more that my life back at home. In the silence I delight myself and leave myself to be taken by the moment... This experience has really been such a blessing.

Days go by here so fast and routine never depicts a single minute. It has a little more than a month and yet it just seems the time has never slowed down... maybe it will when December the 23rd comes...

It has been awesome. Never have I been so motivated to work and study. Never have I been able to feel that I can control my life and make my own decisions. Never have I felt that there would be friends aside from those at home that I would cherish for life.

Three months left. I wasn't too worried about how much I'd miss everything here until I talked to Pat the other day. It's another day tomorrow with Alex, Jacq, Kayce, Mariel, Rainer, Pat, Matt, Queenie, Tk and a whole lot of people. It's another day. How I wish I could make this last forever.
