That School Thing Still Exists... Go Figure

Today I started to notice how close I've grown to the other program participants over the summer. As we sat down for lunch, our group of now only five (soon to be further reduced to three) was much quieter than the energetic crazy group of seven to ten exchange students that we used to be. It's hard to believe that this summer is already drawing to a close, but my email inbox full of notes from classes I've registered for tells me that the start of the fall semester is closer than I'd like to believe.
