Well, I finally made it to Paris. The reason I didn't update from there was because it was so incredibly amazing that I didn't get on the internet much. It was so nice staying in an actual hotel. I had to share the room with two strangers, but they were both quite nice, and it was a great alternative to sharing it with 17 strangers like in ( Read more... )

Well I had a great last day in Amsterdam. It's a beautiful city in the day time, particularly the canals. I really enjoyed my second day in Amsterdam much more than my first. I think the random drug dealer kind of scared me on my first day and put me in a bad mood. I'm kind of jumpy when big people approach me, and I'm alone. Yeah ( Read more... )

Well, I finished up London with a whirlwind day of seeing everything I hadn't managed to fit into my three full days. I hit up the highlights of the British Museum and the British Library. I got to see the Magna Carta, the Rosetta Stone, all of these cool Egyptian Ruins, and original scrolls of the Gospels. It was really cool. I went and saw ( Read more... )

Well, I've spent three days in London, and tomorrow is my fourth and last. It's been a blast. I've gotten to see so many awesome things in the city. I've seen every single sight imaginable, and tomorrow I'm going to try and actually go inside the few big ones that I have left. Today I got to see the Changing of the Guards. That was fun. Then I ( Read more... )

Well, my flight to London was extremely uneventful as has been the rest of my trip. I've gotten to see lots of cool things, and it's been a fun day, but it feels weird because it's been so easy to find everything. The tube is amazing. I haven't had to walk very far at all. Well, I wish I had some interesting stories. There aren't many, but I ( Read more... )

I know, it would have been cool if I could have found another p word for the subject, but it just didn't happen. I'm doing pretty much anything I can do to procrastinate studying for my final exam tomorrow. I know, most of you reading this are already out. It's aggravating that everyone else is already out of school. Well, I'm reading a section ( Read more... )

To the college student, there are no two more beautiful words in the English language. On my way to Art History, I saw Fernando walking away from Few, and I asked him where he was going. He then proceeded to tell me that class was cancelled. I was so excited. Some other people were griping that they can't believe the woke up, etc. That never ( Read more... )

Well, I quickly got over my anger that I lost an hour of sleep two weekends ago when Daylight Savings Time started because I love the extra daylight. I love it now that it doesn't get dark at 5:30 or 6:00. The only thing that always gets me is that I'll stay out on the Quad just talking to people because everyone's outside since the weather is so ( Read more... )

Ah, no more tests! Today, I had three class and three tests. Ok, so one was in swimming, but it's still a test. We had to do all of these things in the pool with our clothes on which sucked. I'm so drained and tired, but I'm so ecstatic and hyper. It feels so great to not have another test. My week started off so badly by having to study for ( Read more... )

So, we had a storm a few days ago, and I thought lightning struck my alarm clock and broke it. Instead, I realized today that it had blown the whole outlet and that nothing was working--including the refrigerator. I filled out a maintence request for them to come and fix my outlet. In the mean time I decided to clean out the refrigerator of all ( Read more... )
