Picture this:
A girl (yes, she still qualifies as a girl, despite her 'advanced age') walking down a narrow brick street, past small brick houses with multi-hued doors that catch the evening sunlight. Around her are students set on celebrating the end of exams - they're variously dressed up in academic robes, party hats, farm animal masks, and facepaint, and they're throwing glitter and confetti and shaving cream into the air. The girl doesn't break stride; she continues down that narrow street, eating fish and chips out of a paper bag with a wooden fork, and smiles as hums along to a Debussy song that's just come on through her headphones.
Strange. But that's how I'll remember the end.

Do Not Go Gentle
PICS! of me rage, raging against the dying of the light.
1 - the summer garden party!
in lmh's gardens, of course.
some interesting people...bramble, tink, and ben 'vlad' westwood. yeah i know.
the asian front
and owen of course.
samuel joins us after his final exam, so we throw glitter on him and give him a 'girls' night out' balloon.
famous burgers!
2 - eilyn's birthday dinner!
lovely little eilyn.
3 - pubs!
finding our way to a secret pub down by the bridge of sighs (oooh)
found it: turf tavern
another night, with sam and some americans at the king's arms.
strange shots at risa
anddd back with the original gang of lawyers for clem's.
5 - croquet!
i am sooo much better than everyone else at this game thanks to my 'killer' grandfather.
john stopped by, but had to return to his greek history studies...stupid exams.
6 - the bitter(sweet) end
incredible...i'm going to miss these guys (and the ones who weren't pictured, too) so so so much. it's just started 9th week, and except for the handful of students who are finishing up exams, everyone's gone home, leaving me in a bit of a ghost town. i know we'll stay in touch, but i sort of feel like i'm going to miss their presence more than they'll miss mine. it's a matter of numbers. anyway, we'll stay in touch. they'll be fine. and i will too. :)
yep...
these will all be on facebook, plus more, in a few days.
xoxo
