SnowED in.

It's funny how once everyone went home no one posted anymore. I recently got a new computer so maybe, just maybe, I will get into the blogging mode once again. The only reason I did today is because I'm snowed in at 20+inches of snow in the lovely suburbs of Philadelphia....

Home

I've been home for almost a month now.

And have basically been sick ever since, from kidney stones that came from who knows where. Hopefully I will FINALLY be better next week. I've been in and out of the hospital and doctors, and can't wait to get better. My summer essentially hasn't started yet. So sad. So so sad.

..But could always be worse.

20-some days

Here I am, left with 20some days until I come home. I've been texting Ang a lot, on g-mail. Gmail is wonderful. Exam on Tuesday. Oxford that weekend. I think I'm doing a 5k! I'll post the link here:

I haven't blogged for awhile and I figured that now would be a good time to get back into it. It's about to be May 13th, i.e. exactly a month until I go back to little old Levittown. Even though time has gone by fast, it's only because of all of the things I have done here. I'm slightly nervous to go back, because a lot has changed and so have I. Not in a worse sense, but a greater sense. In the process, I haven't been driving, I don't drink Gatorade, and I didn't have a job. Those life necessities are going to be interesting to come back to and start right away. I'm excited to come back to see my family and friends, and continue my new life started here at home. I'm just about a senior in college, and that's a really strange idea for me.

I'm missing Phillies games and the end of finals at home, but I don't really mind. The weather is getting nice here and I'm almost ready to start enjoying my last month in Swansea. I'll be going to Oxford again one more time, to break up my time between here and home. There is a lot in Swansea that I have yet to see and I'm ready to do so. Maybe even travel to northern Wales.

I'm handing in my final essay tomorrow, then I have an exam on May 26th. Other than this I am free to finally relax, although I think the idea of "relaxing" while abroad is somewhat different than at home. Because really, it's not relaxing at all.

I moved all of my things and am settled in a really nice room now. Other than people slamming the doors at every hour, it's a nice place.

Bye Loves :)

May!!

It's almost May and I am almost home. I have moved to another room at school and am just getting ready for finals and papers. This weekend I am going to a ball at Oxford, hopefully I am posh enough for it. Other than that, nothing too new. Talk to you soon!

I watched a really good movie called "Waltz for Bashir"; it was a really compelling story about the Lebanese war in the 1980s. It's an animation movie and I really never thought an animation film could be so real.

Where are my floods at?

Hi all,
I know I haven't really posted in awhile. After being back from break, I have been nonstop working on schoolwork and trying to pull everything together for the end of the semester. Yet I have an interesting story........

So at approximately 12 am Saturday morning the fire alarm in my building went off. It seems like a likely occurrence around here, so I grabbed my coat and phone and left. I went to another building and sat in there on the phone for a bit.

I come back to basically see water pouring out the side of my building. I tell the fire guy that I need to get my laptop; I go into my room to see that it's flooded, and there's a waterfall trickling down from the ceiling onto my computer... A water main on the floor above me broke and flooded the floor.
All of my electronics are broken, clothes are soaked, work is lost, and I had to move.
Interesting day.

Break.

I just tried to post pictures two times and my computer keeps freezing so I am doing it again. Third time's a charm... or is it?
