one year

[aryanhwy]

A year ago today, we arrived in the Netherlands. Has it really been that long ago? There were times when I wasn't sure we'd made the right decision, or what we'd do if it turned out we hadn't, but the last few months have pretty much proved all of those worries wrong. I'm very glad we came, very sorry that our stay is now 1/4 over, and feel only moderately guilty that I haven't missed my friends and family more. (This is not to say that I wouldn't be thrilled if you decided to come visit!)

I feel like I should say something deep and pithy about the last year's experiences, but to be honest, my mind is currently occupied by more mundane things - such as the fact that the last week and a half's worth of work has produced an errata letter which is now over 55 pages. (Don't worry, herald folks, it'll be published with the LoARs in parts.)

And now, my feet are cold, but I can't justify turning the heat on in the house this early in the year, so I'm going to go take a bath.
