I was awoken by Lindsay's phone call to watch the Argentina and Germany game and I initially told her I was gonna stay home and just watch it here but then 2 minutes after I hung up the phone I decided that that was dumb, I'd rather watch it at the Argentinian bar.  She picked me up and we watched the game there along with the Argentinian-Hasidic ( Read more... )

I have no idea what just happened to the past two days.  I guess it all amounts to me just having way too much fun.  I didnt work yesterday and Lindsay called just in time to invite me out to Bay Ridge to the infamous Salty Dog bar bc it was the last day for NYC's Board of Education - aka last day of high school teaching for her for the summer so ( Read more... )

At least my back-up team is in... but this is devastating now.

GO GERMANY!

Um.. I am so pumped right now and there's so much adrenaline pumping through my body for the Spain v. France game. I was so nervous and started sweating... and screaming at the screen. And then my dad is sitting there and telling me useless WORLD CUP facts and statistics from previous championships.. and i'm just like, "IM NOT LISTENING TO YOU! ( Read more... )

I received an email from the LSE Int'l Relations Dept and the IPE program and it was pretty much the first welcome letter and listing some of the books that we should read if we're not familiar with the material and luckily I just bought a few of those from Amazon... and then I looked at the email addresses of the people in my program and it really ( Read more... )

It obviously rained... so I went to my grandparents house and just hung out with them the rest of the evening.  They are absolutely the most amazing people ever, and I just love being in their presence and there's nothing like watching International news with them and my grandma having a political analysis of every news event of the day, especially ( Read more... )
