Why did I decide to take economics at Oxford? Why? Shakespeare fine, economics no. At least I am going back to London this weekend. And I am going to Edinburgh for 5 days next week!!!! YAY!!!! Always look on the bright side.

Hey everbody! Seminars are over!!!! YAY!!!! No more insainly impossible amounts of work to do. But now tutorials start. Boo!!! I wish we just had a week or so to recover first. Anyway, I went to London over the weekend. It was a lot of fun. I bought 20 pound boots and 4 pashminas, which are scarf type things, at the Portabello market in Notting ( Read more... )

So, my birthday was fun. Mitch came to see me and he gave me a really pretty amber necklace from Greece. I showed him around Oxford and we climb St. Mary's tower with all the insain steps. Then we went and had dinner at a really good Italian restaurant. I love having wine with dinner, something I never get to do in the states. It makes ( Read more... )

So, a bunch of us went out last night to celebrate both mine and Heather's birthday. We started out at a pub and then went to this club called the purple turtle, which is a very cool club. I have found my new favorite drink and it doesn't even compare to "sex on the beach". It is called "Malibu", which is basically orange juice and coconut rum ( Read more... )

So, I went to Edinburgh this weekend to visit Mitch, but now I fear that I am way far behind in my studies. However, it was a free trip and totally worth it so whatever. Just looking ahead at all I have to do is making me go crazy. I mean no normal human being could ever do all of this. I have 4 8 page research papers (2 due this week and two ( Read more... )

So, I am in Oxford and jet lagged as hell, but I am trying to stay up until at least 7:00 so that I can sort of get on their time. I already went to my first pub with about 8 people from the program. It was a very very quaint place with grape vines hanging from the ceiling. I had this really really good "cider" and a cheddar cheese with spanish ( Read more... )

Okay so, remember how I was all disapointed because I got a B in History, a class I was sure that I would get and A in, and because of that I did not get a 4.0 this past semester? Well, after I discovered my grade I emailed my professor for a little insight into the matter, and she emailed me back saying that she appreciated the respectful tone of ( Read more... )

Soooo, schools over! YAY! Unfortunately, I had to jump straight into work. For those of you who don't know, I am working as a hostess at the Mick's in Peachtree Center....so come by and say hi sometime. Work is fine and I like the people I work with, I just did not expect to be working so soon. However, now that I have weekends off I don't mind ( Read more... )
