Rain

     I don't know if it was because it was raining this morning, but on my way to class, I finally felt like I could actually do this. That I can actually carve myself a little home here in Canterbury. On my way to class, as I walked the nearly empty path through the woods, I finally felt at ease in this little English town.
     I cannot get over how similar the weather here is to B.C. Or how something as simple as the weather can make me feel so at ease and at home. I always love the way the air smells and feels back home. Living by the bay, the air has a hint of salt to it that just cannot be beat. I have always felt that that smell and feeling in the air was unique to home. Waking up to that smell in the summer is the epitome of comfort and familiarity.
     Although I am not as close to the sea here, I have found that same feeling in the air as I walk the path to campus. And, for that brief walk, I feel at home.
