My last day

Tomorrow is my last day in England. Technically, I'm flying out on Sunday, but the bus that is taking me to the airport leaves at 3 AM and my flight leaves at 8. I am definitely ready to go back to United States. Being far away from home is very exhausting.

Last night, my grandfather and I went to a lecture on the nature of space and time and I got to eat dinner with Stephen Hawking. This is because my grandfather, a very prominent mathematician, got invited to a 22 person reception which included Stephen Hawking. So, you could say that I had dinner with 21 people and one of them happened to be Stephen Hawking but really that's just a technicality. For obvious reasons, I didn't talk to him, but who cares? I Was There. The lecture was also interesting, although I definitely missed the more technical parts.
