Thought I'd go for a title that listed what I had to talk about, so people could skip to the part that interested them.

I went to London (still amazing, although Buckingham is less impressive the 2nd time after seeing Versailles in the interval), then Oxford (gorgeous old buildings, saw Christchurch College where some of the first two Harry Potter ( Read more... )

So last night Jess's body thought waking up at 3 am feeling like DEATH would be a good idea...Jess didn't agree, but walked to her bathroom anyway incase she had to puke.....then she felt light-headed as fuck and tried to make it back to her bed to lie down, passing out on the way. She woke up however-long later with little rugburns decorating her ( Read more... )

What can you say about Paree?
I went to see all the sights, I had baguettes and brie, I was hit on in the red light district (don't make eye contact!), I had a fabulous time...

Now it's RAG week, which is about charity and alcohol...BEYOND CRAZY. Already one roomie has a shaved head, and one of our friends came into my room yesterday with a smiley ( Read more... )

I feel like I learn more about this great country sititng in my living room surrounded by stoned Irish boys than I do on tours...today's topic of interest was the Travellers. (Like gypsies). You can call them Knackers (translation: scumbags), or Pavvies, and they have terrific bareknuckle fights. They move in their caravans every generation or so, ( Read more... )

Some more drinking, some classes, some class-skipping, got a boyfriend-ish, and totally missed all my classes today to go to the LOTR marathon....12 hours and some free food, what a great waste of my life.

Oh yes, Jess decided to join in with the boys....lots of craic, lots of craic.
Halfway to sober at 3 when she went to bed.
Got up for her 9 o'clock class......only to find out it was cancelled when she got there.
Is that any way to reward her heroic efforts to get the hell up?
I think not.

Went to bed at 10, couldn't sleep at ALL!

Got up at 4am, and it would be generous to say I slept for 2 hours.

Got to school by 5, to wait OUTSIDE in the DARK

At 8 we got numbers, and retreated to a cafe.

8:45 saw us in line again, and 9:20 got me my sign up for my seminar, thank goodness.

Tired is not teh woord

Is what I walked through, my shoes being sucked off of my feet.

Puddles? You ain't seen puddles until you walked in the dark for 20 minutes by an Irish river on a path you can't fucking see. Then how did I see the puddles? I didn't, until I stepped in them halfway to my knees.

Thorns. My thigh. Do the math.

Vines. My foot. Death trap.

Throwing a ( Read more... )

Highest temps are low 40's...that is mid afternoon with the sun....

It's actually not THAT cold, the problem is that there is shit for heat....so walking outside I feel warmer than sitting at my computer right now!

The new API people are here, weird to be the one who knows how to get to College, city centre, etc.  And I don't go to all of the things ( Read more... )
