Okay, it's time for an update. So...my journal project kind of went down the drain...but I figure maybe instead I can just keep kind of a summary of each week? Here goes the summary for this week ( Read more... )

I went to a ceilidh last night! It was like contra dancing, only with more Scottish music. w00t! I danced a little, being careful of my leg, but I held up pretty well. In fact, it's not my leg or knee that hurts, it's my ankles. Went with some hallmates, R and N - fellow JSA's - and (these initials come out sounding wrong...) S and M; S is ( Read more... )

So I found out today how cold my room is. I met a girl at breakfast from (I'm guessing) England today. I introduced myself as a JS2 and she asked where in the hall I was living. Well, I said I was on the far end of the main building; second floor. She asked what room number and I told her. Turns out that she lived there last semester and would ( Read more... )

To all of you out there in lj land: I'm home! The surgery went pretty smoothly and although there was some confusion about discharging me today, that's what ended up happening...and I'm glad. I made it up 15 stairs and am now reposed moderately comfortably in my bed. Although I'm still on heavy duty pain meds, I am starting to become a bit more ( Read more... )

There is so much one needs to do if one is leaving the country. I'd thought of all the typical things - student visa, passport, plane tickets, etc, but I hadn't really thought about everything else.

So a lot has gone on since the last time I posted...which, granted, was over a month ago. I now consider myself a "questioning" chemistry major, I've been under a lot of stress due to classes and life in general, I was accepted to study abroad at St. Andrews University in Scotland next spring, and I was denied transfer credit from said university ( Read more... )

It's back to the daily grind again (and I'm not talking about a certain campus coffee shop), but at least I had a bit of a break. You may read details about the fun and interesting times had in NoVA, DC, and MD (wow! I used all acronyms to describe where I went on break!) below.
