Last Friday we went to the Great America theme park and it was wild. The bunch insisted on doing the 22 storey drop first so I almost died before the real fun began. There were even rollercoasters where you ride standing! Crazy American people.

After being at Stanford for 5 weeks I realize that friendship is a currency that is universal. My closest friends here are Russian, Khazak, Brazilian, Korean and American, and I realise that even though we don't always have the same word for "dumbass", it doesn't really matter.

On Saturday we went for the John Mayer concert at Mountainview. It was so awesome because the weather was so beautiful and the amphitheatre was in the middle of mountains under the stars. With garlic fries in one hand and Pepsi in another, it was the best way to see him live. It was just me, John and 20,000 fans sprawled out on the grass.

I feel so grateful to have come to Stanford. Just to have been able to escape for abit to recharge and regroup has been one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time. I have been enjoying every moment, and it's helped to rediscover the authentic me.

Heya! How's it going? I guess I haven't written in awhile.

I've been having alot of fun since I arrived in SF. Stanford has been so amazing and I wish I could share it with all of you, but there are no words to describe the experience I've been having.

Life here has been so great. I made a conscious effort to come here to relax, enjoy and make as many friends as possible, and I've done that.

I haven't written much because since I've arrived I've had a real sense of peace and it's just hard to even describe that. I always write when something is on my mind, and I guess the last couple of weeks have really let me relax and feel at ease. I don't even know what to say really. I'm so grateful I had the chance to be here.

It's about 11pm now and I just came back from town. After a great fried chicken dinner I took a cycle out of campus. Stanford is so beautiful in the evenings, and with the Californian breeze and John Mayer for company, it's a joy to be in the outdoors. Had a huge cup of frozen yoghurt and went to borders to read some magazines before heading back.

There are so many things I want to share with you guys about. Like the amazing weather, beautiful campus, funny people, to-die-for food, crazy parties and awesome shopping. I'll write soon.

In the meantime take care, have lots of fun whichever part of the world you are, and cya soon!
