I am up to 3:00 in the morning doing assignments again. It is not all that bad, I drank a V so that helped. It will suck however getting up early tomorrow morning to cook lunch for Credo. 

So my time in Sydney was intense and emotional in both good ways and bad. It was so lovely to see many of you, I think you are very special but there were so many goodbyes - David, the Enmore house and Monday Club. It all kind of hurt but I was glad I could be there for them all.  I read this quote in an article entitled “The happiness addicts missing out on a melanacholy miracle.” Sometimes I think I am a happiness junkie so I guess it is good to also have weekends where we let ourselves feel the sadness of loss and change in order to grow. Tom, you wrote about some students suffering loss. I guess you can’t scream this quote down a hallway but these ideas in the long run might comfort those students, as they comfort me.
