Friday

Last night I had a really lovely time with a few friends from work, then finished out the night with Paula and two of her friends from the Tribunal. I have loved meeting people here - everyone comes from such varied backgrounds and has such interesting stories. The group of us four girls that ended up together at the end of the night had a phenomenal time laughing and sharing anecdotes about our work.

I came home to the most gorgeous flowers, a thank you from Paula - she is the second person that I have managed to find an apartment for, and I think I have a fall-back career in real estate.

Just a couple more days until I reach the half-way mark in my time here, and then one week after that my amazing friend Galina will be coming from Cambridge for a visit! With so much happening in the next couple months, I think time will continue to fly by.
