Goodbye for now, Jessica

Jessica and I had a nice meal out this evening with our friends Hoa An and Annie as a farewell do for Jessica, who is leaving for the United States tomorrow morning. She will not return until the 25th of May, the day before I fly back to the UK. I am apprehensive about how I will find the coming six weeks, being by myself in the house, but I also feel conscious of how much I want to have a lot of work to show for myself when she returns. I am entering a new period of my time here and moreover am approaching the end of my time in Vietnam, although it still feels a long time yet.
