i look at this photo and wonder why on earth would you want to leave? It was James' birthday last night and it was a really great evening. It rare that so many of the old CU people get together in the same room. I had such a good time catching up with people but there is always the thought in the back on my head that reminds me I'm leaving all these lovely people for 2 years. It just makes it harder to spend time with people because then I appreciate how much i love them and then i feel sad about not seeing them for ages.

I'll just stop thinking so much about it otherwise I'll end up living in a hole for the next few months to avoid seeing anyone.
