Eight days left in Irvine; 12 left in the US. I'm excited to leave, because I think I will have a better sense of time when not in California. Here, the weather is the same year-round (although only now are people talking about how warm and summery it is - temperatures in the 70s are still warm and summery!). My sense of time is terrible - did that happen in March? December? I can't tell because I can usually connect events to weather, and here, the weather is always warm. In Missouri and in Poland, I can tell that it's December (some exceptions) or that it's July. Also - I'm ready for real rain... not this fake stuff.
