at summer's end

It's been a while. Here's a summary of my summer:

I came back from Switzerland and essentially waited to go home.

I went home for two weeks! I visited two of my wonderful Scrippsies and got to walk around campus. I went camping in Yosemite with the siblings and their significant others. I hung around JMZ camps/campstaff. I saw my home friends. I chilled with Becky, Hailey, and Arad. And then I broke my own heart flying back. Two weeks is not enough time.

I moved! I live in a pleasant new abode just across from the gym. Only one other housemate has moved in, but I get on quite well with her! Here are some photos. Mind you, it's actually more spacious than the pictures make it out to be. It's not fancy, but it's comfortable (which is more than I could say for my summer housing).

I went to Norway! We were there for four-ish days. But don't ask me what Norway looks like, or if I know any Norwegian, or anything silly like that. We lived in the badminton hall. Literally. I love ISBTs (international student badminton tournaments). They are always, ALWAYS legendary.

This is what Norway looked like for me.



I'm writing my thesis. Two chapters down, two to go! I'm going to have to cut so much out... I'm at 9,000 words already!
