August 31st: OMG I've changed my mind and I'm not going home. I'm going to stay here and live on Beaver Tails with Maple Butter for the rest of my life. It will be remarkably short on that diet, but totally worth it. In other news, when I got back to the flat there was a black squirrel on the grass outside. I stood perfectly still so he wouldn't see me and watched him bury a nut right in front of me. I know they're vermin, but they're also cute and fuzzy. Didn't have my camera! Time to leave my lovely girls :(
