well having experienced serious 'showers' i have only 4 weeks left to Dance in the states and don't quite know what to make of it. The prospect of writing another 5 papers before this is not a happy one but the knowledge that i'm leaving loads of good friends behind i even worse. The best thing about my experience has been the people i have met along the way and who knows when i will next see them all!?! anyway i must continue on with my work so i can squeeze in all i can into this short amount of time...how can people only do 1 semester abroad?
