Yesterday we went to Abergavenny with our friends Phil and Oci and climbed Sugarloaf (Mountain? Peak? not sure). We had a grand ole' day in the sun, saw lots of sheep, a small herd of wild horses with tiny baby, several thousand beetles and lots of bracken. It was great. The guide in the tourist shop said they used to call it moderate, but they upgraded it because not everyone walks as much as they do and people thought it was hard. But we survived.
We had two lunch breaks because each couple had basically brought enough for everyone to have a lunch. For first lunch we had tabouli pita sandwiches and fruit and got eaten by bugs. For second lunch we had cheese and pickle sandwiches and watched the baby wild horse. Then we wandered back into town for dinner and some pub games, and caught the last train home.
The day was perfect, and it made me think of how short a time we have left here. Already many of my classmates have returned to their home countries or gone off somewhere to do their research. It's summer. Classes are over. And its our individual responsibility to get research projects designed, planned and carried out. I'm finding it hard to focus and wish for more sunny laughing days with my friends.
