life

The dog is learning a bit. He actually sometimes sits now when you tell him to sit. So that's good.

I have to leave in a few days. I'm ready to get back to my life, but I am not ready for S to not be there yet. It's weird, I feel like I have 2 separate lives - the one I have here and the one I lead there. Here, I'm wealthy, surrounded by family and my work is mostly a mystery. There, I'm a poor grad student whose closest family is a day's drive away and who lives and breathes work, and doesn't see a lot of people who don't understand what she does. It's odd.

But the most important difference is where S is. Hopefully in a few months we'll be together again.
