Days fly fast now. Since I finished school I've been killing time taking care of correspondance, e-mails, paperwork, going to campus everyday. It doesn't feel as if I've gotten a whole lot done, but time flies fast. Sunday night we had a Farewell dinner with Anu from C's lab at a Thai restaurant. She's so spirited and lively, I think she will be greatly missed. Tuesday we made another trip to Fashion Valley to finish the last Xmas purchases (or almost). Turns out that we still have some presents left to buy for C's nephews and nieces, as we haven't been able to find what he had in mind for them. As for me, I haven't been able to find what I had in mind for C either ...
I actually stayed at home on Monday, cleaning the house (that had been very neglected during the last few weeks) and Tuesday we did some heavy cleaning too, rented a carpet cleaner and shampooed all the carpets, (American homes tend to be carpeted, except for the kitchen and possibly the bathroom.) and washed the windows and blinders in and out. Now, we are not going to be spending Xmas at home, but anyway, it will be nice to come back to a sparkling clean house.
We offered ourselves a nice dinner at the Fishery as a reward for the good results of my coursework and the publication of C's article. When we came back from dinner we could hear the surf from our house. Pretty impressive, considering that we are whole eight blocks from the sea!
