American Addictions -

This is my last day in Quincy, MA, I leave tomorrow - maybe! It's supposed to snow, and I hope it does [cause I like it], but not so much that I can't go. I also have discovered that I DO NOT like Chicago international airport - I need to remember that!

I have discovered that there a tonnes of lovely people here - I've been treated with enormous grace, and feel like there are friends here. But I've also discovered several things about myself - 1) I am still prone to incredible nerves 2) If there is a TV around, and I have spare time, I am totally and utterly an addict - mostly to CSI, which is a little mad, since it also gives me nightmares. Yikes. Probably just as well that LOST hasn't been on! 3) I really am glad that I am not young anymore. I would not chose to be at college again for love nor money. 4) I have a long way to go to figure out community 5)I love graham crackers (a bit like digestives, only crunchier) and have an endless capacity for dill pickles.
I feel a little out of touch with home, but most of the news that has filtered through has not been the best. So much sadness, and pain, and life's fragility impacting so many, it is heart-wrenching.

Anyway, I should go.... Reading calls.
