...and then there were ten.

Yesterday was sad. Our lovely, lovely Lisa went home to Langley, BC. She decided on Saturday that she was going to leave, for a variety of reasons, and then by the time all the flights were arranged, she didn't go until Wednesday. When we said goodbye for the last time before leaving for the school yesterday morning, I told myself that I WASN'T going to cry...but it didn't work. I cried, a lot. It feels wierd having the one less person around, especially since Lisa's personality was so outgoing and present.
As much as I'm sad that she decided to leave, though, I know that she'll be happier doing something else with her year off than she would have been had she stayed. And we'll keep her fully updated on the happenings of our group.

...I feel like I'm writing about someone dying. I'm going to stop.
Lisa, if you happen to be reading this, we miss you a ton already.


In happier news...OBAMA WON! I have to say, I find it really exciting that we're all living through this historical event. Someday, our kids will be reading about the first African-American President of the United States in text books and I'll be able to say that I remember that day! I guess I can't really say I was there, technically. but that's ok.


Other events of yesterday...I almost missed my bus which was fun, and then when I got home, I discovered that the 2nd care package from home came! I got tea, books, the Globe's University report card, DRIED CHERRIES (!!!) and some of my dad's dehydrated specialties.


I have to go actually work now...no more slacking.
