I am half asleep on my desk. A book is placed on my lap and another one under my head.

Here are some things about my life. For the last 10 months I have been living with my sister in England. My sister is 20 years old and is studing in Cambridge to become a Vet. I am 17 years old and since I finced high school early I got a scholarship to study at Cambridge too. I have been fascinated with the human anatomy since I was a little girl and I jumped straight at the opportunity to study and become a doctor at such a young age.

My family life is kinda complicated too. Since our mom died , dad beacame more and more distant. He started to work more and more and hebarely saw us. At that point we weren't his daughters , we werw just a paychek he sent every month. But that was okay. I had my friends and my sister who I had the best time with.

My family's been going to Susannah's beach house in Cousins every summer since I was a baby. Since before I was even born. All year long, I count the days until I'm in that house.  The dads come to visit, but it's not their place. They don't belong to it. Not the way we do. The mothers and us kids.

The house was located at a beach in Massachusetts called Cousins. There I had the best memories and couldn't wait every summer to make more

The summer house is made up of lots of things.

The beach.

The swimming pool late at night.  Movie nights with the moms.\ But the boys. The boys most of all. It's the same every summer. I've always loved that about it.

For me, everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.
I love the drive, that moment. It's like coming home after you've been gone a long, long time.

There I met my best friends:

This is Isabel Conklin or Belly as we all call her. Belly has dark hair and a face full of freckles and a slim girlish figure she almost always hides in loose fitting clothes. She is also  able tan very easily during her summers and sometimes gets "dark as coffee beans". Unlike me, Belly is the type of girl who prefers to cover up her womanly body.
