Day 53

lori left yesterday at around 5 after our grades came out and anne hopped on an early plane this morning after staying up the entire night, leaving just 5 of us here on a very quiet and deserted station. was rowdy last night at the passin' wind though, where they had a small going-away party with a bottomless bowl of fruit punch and liberal R(s)OD(s)PFBSE and miranda randomly deciding to go for a swim at 3 in the morning and regretting it 15 seconds afterwards. and farewells to james and sam who have been eccentric, but truly wonderful instructors, and kelsey, who embodies the spirit of australia (which is drunkenness), and the cooks, who taught me that you can fry anything if you really put your mind to it, and nellie with her mufflers and scarves, and all the wildlife which i might miss but probably won't.

so, we fly, to reconvene in beaufort, north carolina in 10 days. i head to philadelphia where i have less than an hour to clear immigration and customs (not going to happen) and get to rdu and duke and 16 inches of snow.

good times. good times had by all.
