The British Library is annoying!  You have to go in and get this photo ID, then look up what books/articles you're looking for, and then wait between 70 minutes and 48 HOURS to have your books brought to the room you requested.  Then you get to sit in the room and read them--but first you have to leave your coat, any umbrellas, purses downstairs in ( Read more... )

24 days until I am done with school and all assignments, and off on a month of European travel! So much to do until then it's crazy. I need to:

1-Lose 9 lbs
2-Finish 3 15 page essays
3-Finish 3 more play reviews

Ok, not that much, but each one is very very involved. There are 12 steps to writing each essay, so that's like a to do list with 36 items ( Read more... )

After much avoidance, I am finally posting pictures and summaries from the second half of my week off--mostly because I have something else I would rather avoid. Homework.

I procrastinated too long and have missed out on some of the longer tours, they're all booked. Tomorrow I'm going to Oxford, the Cotswolds, and ( Read more... )

Reading Week is approaching, in 4 days to be exact, and I find myself completely unable to decide where to go.  I can go anywhere from here, and most places are between 200 and 700 pounds including flight and hotel.  I've seen ski/snowboard packages for a little more that include instruction.  Should I go snowboarding in the Swiss Alps?  Lose my ( Read more... )

 Just got home from a night out, on Penn.  Wohoo for not spending any money ( Read more... )

 I feel as if I've been quite busy the last few days, and that's both true and not.  On Monday, I was incredibly sick for about 4 hours, clutching my stomach and hiding under the covers of my uncomfortable bed.  After I recovered (I think I have some sort of horrible reaction to Cheddar Cheese, suddenly and tragically), I went to the school library ( Read more... )
