Living in a harbour town, especially on the other side of the hill, I often forget that I live near the ocean. And then when I'm nearly blown over, I remember.
I am enjoying my new life here in St. John's. School is harder than I thought it would be, but is thankfully over for a month. I still have one more assignment to hand it, so I'm hoping to kick its ass and bring my grade up a bit. Andy's looking forward to a new start next term as well.
There's no snow here at all. We had that one flurry back in October, and nothing that's stuck since. Mostly it rains every day and is windy enough to make it not worth even brushing your hair in the morning, but it's pretty warm - today it's 7 degrees and almost sort of sunny - though they expect rain this afternoon.
The people that we know here are very nice, and I will miss them when we're home.
But I'm really looking forward to coming home. Dealing with family issues, snow, noise, lack of time alone . . . I can't wait.
