blast. i wanted to move my flight back to the weekend but sia is fully booked till sept 2nd, and i can't possibly go back to school so late. i need to get at some generals books and anyway i don't want to be jetlagged at the start of term. i am giving myself no less than 3 weeks this year. also, i've got a host student and i don't want to not be there when she arrives. i don't think she's ever been to the us before. but next week is too early to leave. my schedule has been pushed back by the events of the past weeks, and there's much top much i haven't done and people i have yet to see, and i realise i don't really want to be in cambridge so early. going back to school too early always makes me mope and gives me too much time to get homesick.
