Day 134 - 142 days

Today is "Day 134" and I'll be leaving in 8 days (Tuesday, 13 December). Yes, I know that adds up to 142 not 140. I believe the discrepancy is because I didn't originally include the days of my flights here and back, as those wouldn't be full days in England. The number is meaningless anyway, as I've spent quite a few days outside of England.

However, I'm very glad it's 142 days (in Europe) instead of 140. It's really starting to hit me now that I won't be here much longer. Today was my last Monday of class, which I will miss. Tomorrow will kick off my last week (i.e., last 7 days) here. There is so much that I will miss, especially the people.

As I may have said before, I think I have more friends here than I did in Norman. Not as many close friends, obviously, but definitely more people who I talk to and hang out with. It's more a difference in lifestyle than in the people. When you live alone, work mostly at home, and only have one class, you tend not to run into many people during the week. Here it's so much different. And I have a feeling that when I get back to Norman, I'll be taking a lot of my Reading lifestyle with me.
