Live From The Pit

I love to say that the lack of an update yesterday was due to not being able to squeeze it in among the hectic events of the day. I’d love to say that, really. The truth is more mundane: I didn’t have anything to write about. Still don’t, really, but now I can write about why I didn’t write yesterday. Aha!

There's nothing quite like sitting outside in the sun, talking with friends on IM, buying music from the fabulous new Apple Store, and wondering what I'm going to do next. Which reminds me that I should start looking into buying that wireless router for back home.

Back to writing my goodbye letters now. It's turning out to be quite difficult. I spent five hours working on two yesterday (not spending all five hours on them, but writing a little, wondering what to say next, ripping it up and starting again, going off and doing something else for a while...), which seems like an extraordinary amount of time for two one-page letters which aren't exactly mind-blowing. I've now finished Rishi's, Laura's and Sona's, so just Kavi and Shafaq to go now. But I think I'll have some lunch right now, as I've just realised that I haven't eaten food since yesterday morning...
