I have fifteen minutes before I have to wake Karlene up so that she can pack for tomorrow. I wanted to take this time to reflect on my time in Reading, and all of the people I met and such the like, but then I realized, what is there to reflect upon? In many ways I feel like that I wasted this opportunity to do something truly wonderful and special. I feel like I didn't do enough, I didn't do or enjoy as much as I could have. Was I so hellbent on being negative that I missed out on all of the positives? I can honestly say that I won't really miss Reading itself, but some of the people here. I won't miss the crappy public transport system, but miss the opportunities that I could have by utilizing it. Did my own personality hold me back? Were there times that I missed to meet someone truly special? I can't say.

So ultimately I have to not think of such things as "missed opportunities" and just think of all the wonderful things that I did do. And in many ways I am grateful that I had this experience. Though I may not have done as much as I could, I did do a lot which is good. I think, in a way, I will miss this place, but it'll be much like the way I miss Syracuse. I loved living there as it was freat fun, but I can't imagine ever going back to live there. Perhaps to visit and see all of the hold haunts, but never to stay long. This place just does not have my heart.

Hmmm...now I must away to wake the sleeping beauty.
