I’m heading back home next weekend, but I’ll be going straight to John’s cottage when I arrive there, so it’ll be more than eight hours traveling by bus and car. Aaron’s also going back home, so we might take the bus there and the plane back, depending on how cheap the airfare is. I can’t wait to head up to John’s cottage and take part in the Scottish bagpipe parade that runs through the town every weekend during the summer. It’s become a sort of ritual now, every time I go up, along with the nighttime car rides and assuming my role as the token Chinese guy. I can’t believe how many memories I have at that cottage, and what John and I have been through for better or for worse there.

Darren should be coming up in two or so weeks to visit. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to watch Waking Life, along with playing some Frozen Throne and Magic. I’m sure Darren needs to relax more than I do, after his summer job.

I’ve decided to put off my job search until the end of the summer, and simply enjoy what I have now.
