I'm so frustrated by the increase in substance abuse in my house. Some of my housemates have really lost control and have become extremely dependent on alcohol and weed. We are so close to graduating together but at this rate I worry if they are going to be able to get their acts together and finish out the semester. Grrrr, there is just so much ( Read more... )

It's already February, when did that happen? I'm almost done with college, when did that happen? Time is moving way too fast. I'm graduating in 3.5 months and I cannot wrap my head around that.  I've been job searching and trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. But also balancing that with enjoying the last months in good ( Read more... )

This semester started out super rough and I did NOT want to be back at Albion.  I missed Scotland and Up North everyday and was frankly unpleasant to be around because I wasn't happy to be back in this stupid little town.  For the first few weeks I was leaving every weekend to go Up North and to Chicago...it is hard to be separated from people you ( Read more... )

 I'm moving up north again and I'm so so so excited. It is such a care free lifestyle up there, I love it. It is hard leaving home and everyone behind again though. I love everyone in Romeo, I'm lucky to have great friends in a bunch of different places.

The concert and London were amazing. The Tallest Man on Earth gave me goosebumps, it was up there with Sufjan and that means a lot coming from me.  It was a long trek, but totally worth it. Now the next trip I'll be taking will be to the USA.

I'm leaving for London tomorrow to see The Tallest Man on Earth perform.
Oh, and lablogotheque.net is an amazing website. I just happened to find it, so it could be that everyone already knows about it. But if you don't you should check it out.

Honestly this entire semester I've studied the equivalent of what I would study in just one week at Albion ( Read more... )

I'm coming home a week earlier because I didn't realize that I get kicked out of my flat a few days before my previous flight left. I didn't want to be homeless. I think that all worked out for the best though, I am quickly running out of money (fuck the US dollar and all of our country's debt) and it will be nice to have a good week home before I ( Read more... )

My friend Evan from Up North is visiting in a few days, I'm really excited to go on a bunch of day trips and adventure around Scotland with him. It makes me really excited for the summer and working at Watervale again. I love summer and swimming, playing tennis, hiking and having sand all over my room and in my pockets. I can't wait for bonfires ( Read more... )

I've been feeling guilty for the past week or so because I've been in a bit of a slum and have been pretty unhappy. It has taken me this long to process living in a different country and to realize that this isn't a vacation - life still goes on, I still have work to do and want to accomplish as much as I can while I am here. It hasn't helped that ( Read more... )
