• treats.

  i keep complaining and saying that i can't wait to get back to DC. it's true though, i do miss my home, and i am tired of London. it isn't all that bad though. i shouldn't make it sound like a miserable experience. i think it's just one of those opportunities where in hindsight, i'll look back upon it more positively than when in the moment. of course it's a little sad that it should be that way, but it just simply is. today though, i realized that i have been and continue to be given treats throughout my stay here. i've acquired some new shoes, for one. for two, a grateful staff person from my Warsaw office brought me some Polish vodka as a thank you gift:
  
  
  
  how he knew that i like to have a drink every now and then... well, maybe it was our christmas party that tipped him off. he said he was going to just bring me some fruit, but the next day realized that this seemed more appropriate of a gift. i'm slightly embarrassed, slightly pleased. then there is the corner bakery that today gave me extra treats. i usually just get one strawberry tart, today they gave me three:
  
  
  
  being here, in London, it's been full of interesting experiences. i've been tested and stretched in ways never before... so all in all, it hasn't been too bad. i have learned much from this and will take away much. let's call this growth. positive growth. but i'm still counting down.

  yes, that's 3 days, 17 hours and 5 minutes left before i leave.
