Countdown Begins
Sigh. 7 days. I return home in 7 days. My paradise dream is ending. So sad. Why must I go back? I wish I had the money to stay here for a whole year. Aw...nostalgia already ( Read more... ) -
Glorious
Today, my alarm went off at 9am. What did I do? I turned it off and floated in and out of sleep for the next 3 hours. I didn't end up getting out of bed until half past noon. Glorious ( Read more... ) -
Something Different
It's surprisingly warm over here in England. Beautiful weather today. It's been clear, mostly sunny, and in the mid 40s. For the end of November, that's wonderful. I'm loving it. Usually, whenever the weather is really nice like today, I find myself smiling more. It's just pleasant to walk around the city when the sky is clear and amazing.

Ahead of Schedule
I can hardly believe it. I'm in the midst of research for my final essay for my Shakespeare tutorial. I don't want it to end! I've had such a great time, and I've learned so much, that it will be strange not having Shakespeare constantly in my life. Aww ( Read more... ) -
The Rain
Even though my most recent essay was only 4.5 pages long, my tutor actually really seemed to like it! I was amazed! I also finally got my second meeting with my secondary tutorial in Japanese theater and it was AMAZING. We pretty much watched clips for an hour and 15 minutes. The subtleties of Noh dance and the character types of Noh and Kabuki ( Read more... ) -
Back Home
It's funny how I am considering Oxford, England my home right now. Although, I should have expected to after living here for 2 months. I was so happy to finally come home. Italy was great and I loved visiting the city of Florence and seeing the sights with Kristen, but it was miserably cold and windy. We saw some amazing things. Original ( Read more... ) -
ITALIA!
I'm heading off to Italy this afternoon! I'll be there for a good whole 4 days (returning Monday night). I'm not as excited as I thought I would be, but that might just be because I'm so exhausted. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because I saw The Duchess of Malfi (which was a complete massacre of the play. I LAUGHED through the whole ( Read more... ) -
Dog Races?
I just went on a date tonight! Wow! And it was splendid too! Where did we go, you ask? We went to the dog races! Yeah! How truly "English" is that?! I gambled for the first time in my entire life, and guess what?! I actually won on my first bet! Damn straight! I ended up breaking about even($1.20+).
It was a great night. He even drove ( Read more... ) -
Tehe!
Yup! Feeling spunky, silly, and a bit ridiculous tonight, so I'm going to talk about random things. Just a forewarning!
1. I proudly ate plain white rice out of a coffee mug today.
2. I bought a 1.25 Liter bottle of Coca-Cola today and when I took a sip, I realized just how long it's been since I've had this type of caffeine. It's been sorely ( Read more... ) -
Oh baby!
That paper I was talking about last night? Yeah, I finished it with no problems and only had to add minor edits. I think it's the best paper I've written since I've been here. It had great textual support, I provided both sides of the argument, but showed how one side won over the other. Let me just say that The Winter's Tale is the penultimate ( Read more... )
