(Don't worry, I'll spare you the soap opera flash-back rant)
But really, that's how I'm feeling at the moment. Time here is completely sped up and intensified to the extent that each day feels like a week, and each week a month. New friendships spring up and in a matter of a few hours or one night you feel like you've met your new best friend... Normally this might be worrisome, but we are ALL operating on the same crazy extreme time-space continuum... making it somehow all very secure feeling.
Perhaps this won't make sense to everyone, but I have really been thinking about this a lot in the past few days. A friend left for Paris on Friday night, and was afraid everything would be different when he gets back next Sunday. He's been here 9 months, so I trust he knows what he's talking about... everything can change in just a week, and it's true. Last Monday I was in a completely different place that where I am now, and I know that in a few days this will change as well. In the one breath, I am talking with brilliant people about genocide and international politics, and in the next, am planning a trip to Rome or the weekend's big meal...
It's exhausting (am actually at home sick today, my body is rejecting certain aspects of this life) but exhilerating at the same time. Really, to sum it all up, incredible.
Thought for Today: It's all about the silver lining.

Yeah, we are in a special dimension where time goes at triple speed, feelings are three times as intense, and you meet amazing people every day that you learn to love after a while...unfortunately we are much more scared to lose all this, it's just too perfect.
But I think that if we really try to enjoy all this and we try not to think in what we can lose but on we can gain, this will improve even more every week!
(I really doubt that I can meet better friends, though)
