Living in the U.K.


I haven't posted in a while. I moved to the U.K. for a great job opportunity.  I love it here so much that I have decided to stay.  I have been here since the 24th of September and time has flown by.  My work permit expires in March and so I have been busy worrying about getting it extended.  I love my job. I feel like I am learning so much and I have met some extroidinary people.  My roommate Jen is the only other American here.  She and I get along great but what would you expect?  The food is awful......if you eat the local stuff. I try my best to improvise.  I am always hungry though....so that has to be fixed pronto!

I feel smart already


School started...YAY! It feels so good to be back.  I love my classes. I especially love my Poli Professor, Dr. Petrakis. He is so cool.  I have him for 2 classes...both of which are interesting.  I have now been told by 3 professors that I should go to Law school. I have never really considered Law school an option. I guess it would be interesting. It is something to think about. I have to hurry and decide what I am going to do since graduation is in May.  By the way I applied...now I have to go pay my fee.  I officially have 5 classes left to take after this semester.  It is daunting.  It feels like yesterday that I was starting college...scared to death because I knew no one.  I don't think I am ready to grow up.

I am out of my mind, I am so busy.  Between class, work, and Italian Club I have barely enough time to eat.  I have to do my homework at work so it gets done cause I don't want to have to spend all of my nights in my room while everyone has fun.

My birthday is in less than a month...we are having a Mexican night...going to Carettas making margaritas at my apartment and playing Mexican Train.  I can't wait!! I am inviting everyone cause I want to have all of my friends to help me celebrate!!

I am excited about all the books I get to read!!!  I feel smart.


Oh and Nickelback was awesome!

I wanna be a RockStar!


Sooooo going to see Nickelback tomorrow night in the NO with Britt. She has no idea where she is going so I am going to be her tour guide. We got tickets on the floor so hopefully we will be able to see the beads of sweat dripping off of them cause we will ba so damn close.

Lucia somehow conned me into taking Italian 311 with her in the Fall.  SO now instead of taking it relatively easy with 15 hours, I am now back up to 18 again. She has this power over me by guilting me into her classes.  No more though cause this is the last Italian I can take without starting to repeat.

I helped my friend and new roommate Christine move in yesterday.  We are all very excited to live together.  We have all these plans worked out for decorating and things we want to buy. I need to get food for all of us to eat too. We have to do some serious grocery shopping. Yay trip to Wal Mart!!!  

As soon as I find out which of the books I have to start reading for my classes first, I want to explore them cause they look amazing...well some of them do anyway.  I am exploring a lot of Greek and Philosophy moreso than when I took Philosophy(interesting).

Wedding Bells and Guitar Hero


I went to the wedding Saturday. It was surprisingly lots of fun. It was crazy seeing everyone and how much they have changed.  It was a very bizarre feeling. Amanda was a beautiful bride and Josh looked so good in his white tux.  

Yesterday, Jenny and I went shopping and she bought a PS2 for the apartment along with GUITAR HERO!!! I suck but it is still really fun.  I also got Hot Fuzz and the 40th anni. edition of Sound of Music since my ghetto tape broke in Jenny's VCR.  We saw Stardust last night which turned out to be a great movie.  We made Pesto and Salami for lunch which was divine.

Britt is home and I am so happy. She had fun in Florida which is what she needed.  We have the Nickelback concert on Friday and school starts on Monday.  People are starting to move back into the apartments and dorms.  Cannot wait!!

shake n bake chicken...mmmmm yum


I am really tired... About to get off work and go home and eat everything in sight. I am starving! I think I might watch House on DVD. I am asking for season 3 for my birthday...oooo ya!



I am secretly in dire need of some Carettas and also some Thai food...but I have no money.  Alas, I must instead eat chicken.

I decided to check out the bookstore while getting the mail today, to see if I need anything for my classes. Turns out I need 17 books!!!! 17 people! That is by far the most I have ever needed and it is my last year of college. I bought 3 today and I decided to get the rest on Half.com cause they are way cheaper. The bookstore rips people off it's so crazy.

I also think my professors are trying to kill me.....most of these books are huge. I hope I will have a life after having to read all of these.  For my Honors 311 class alone I need 7. It is crazy...yet sooo exciting. 

purple elephants and hearts in my eyes


I have been really happy lately. I have been out having fun, living life, and enjoying my summer.  On July 31st, it had been a year since Will and I broke up....and surprisingly I wasn't sad or upset.  I actually forgot about it until Britt reminded me.  It is weird that is has been a year...it has gone by so slowly.  Even though we don't talk and we probably will never be friends I really hope that he is happy with whatever he is doing. I don't hold any grudges or hatred. I am too happy to care anymore.  I want stability with a guy not the risky unknown. I mean yea the unknown can be good but when it puts your life in danger one too many times, then maybe that person doesn't have your best interest at heart.

I started writing again.  I dug out my old notebook and just started writing ideas down.  It helps calm me down.  Britt is leaving for Florida Saturday.  Kind of sad...she will be gone for a week.  I will just have to find something to do.  I always do eventually.  

My friend from high school is getting married next Saturday and I need to go buy a dress.  It will be like a mini high school reunion and I don't want to look like I did in high school.  I have changed a lot, grown up even.

Counting the days until school starts.  I miss being in class...yea I'm sad.  Summer has really flown by.  I got an A in Italian with Lucia....no surprise really.  We are going to continue working on my speaking though even though I am done.

I am confused about a few things right now...mainly my feelings. Hopefully some clarity will come soon enough to ease my tensions.

I'm on fiya!


Yesterday was awesome. I have a sunburn to prove it.  The sun has a way of making you really tired. I all I want to do right now is sleep for 15 hours straight.  Last night we went to Kirin's for Christa's bday and had sushi and hibachi! It was so yummy. We saw Hairspray last night...again. I love that movie. It's fabulous!

Summer is school is over. I have learned a lot from Lucia.  I have to go school supply shopping today with Britt cause Target has all the really fun stuff for school.  We are such nerds.  This fall will be the first time I am not taking 18 hours. I don't know what to do with only 15 hours. I am probably going to take that extra time to study for the GRE.  I am applying for graduation in a couple of weeks. I need to start organizing everything for the Italian Club.  We are going to be involved in so much this semester with Homecoming activities and everything else. 

Not too stressed right now.  It has been a very stress free summer so far.  I am going to try and keep it that way for this school year. Going to start yoga again...that always helps.

Going to test drive cars this weekend with my mommy.  Getting that Jetta!!!

I cannot believe it is over. I am truly saddened. Heartbroken. I am in shock over who died and how it ended. I cried when certain people died...don't want to give away spoilers. However I still cried harder when Dumbledore died int eh 6th book. That was a dagger through my heart. He was my favorite character by far. I have decided to reread them in order again so I feel refreshed on everything.

I stayed up for 32 hours straight in order to finish the book. And now I am exhausted. It actually hurts to put my contacts in because my eyes are so tired.

I got Britt addicted to the books now. She finished Book 1 and 2 and now is borrowing the 3rd and 4th.  SHe went with me to the midnight party and purchased her book too. However the hoe went and read spoilers on Wikipedia finding out who died. Butthead!

Going to Blue Bayou Wednesday with my girls and then Kirin that night to have sushi for Christa's bday. CANNOT WAIT to have a day off from working at the comm dept.

When I left work yesterday I stopped in and got two ginormous smoothies from Smoothie King hoping that they would help me feel better.  I went home to my lowly apartment and drank one and placed the other in the freezer so I could have it today. They are by far the best remedy for a cold. Chalk full of vitamin C and other crazy stuff that have made me feel much better.  I don't sound like some scary man anymore....no more frightening the kiddies.  

I'm ready for summer to come to a close. I miss school...REAL school. None of this summer school, Orientation kids everywhere mumbo jumbo. Load of crap...all of it. I am currently bored, at work, in this lonely office all by myself.  I wish someone would come visit me, but alas, no one comes because they have better things to occupy their time than sit with me at work.

I have decided to start working out again. I have become too lazy and it isn't good.  I used to be so active and athletic before college.  I was a dancer and gymnast for God's sake...this is pathetic. I'm not flabby or anything...don't really have anything that could be considered flab...I am just out of shape on the inside.  I am going to have a heart attack before I'm 35 because of the way I eat and my lack of exercise.  I used to say I don't care as long as I die happy and don't deprive myself.  Oh well things change.  I want to go back to Pilates and Yoga classes...they were always entertaining. Maybe I will take up a hip hop dance class...it could help bring out my inner "brotha". HAHA.
