Sorry that it's been nearly a month since I've last written... assignments are finally in my world and I've been doing them. Obviously. So I guess we'll just do a quick recap of the past month.
As I said, I've been busy with loads of assignments. I've got one course almost completely out of the way now except for a 2,000 word essay due at the end of January. That's a load off my mind. I've got a 4,000 word essay due on the 10th and then I'm pretty much free until I come back here to have a comprehensive 2-hour sat essay style exam for my Propaganda class. I'm really loving all of the classes I am taking and though I do sometime whinge about how I thought it would be more work, I guess it's a blessing in disguise. Since I've last written a lot and not a lot has happened all at the same time.... so where to begin...
I've been to a couple of house parties and birthday parties. A handful of people have had birthdays, so we've had a multitude of meals and nights out. I saw a band called The Dirty Epics which you should all definitely look into. They're pretty cool. Anna and I cooked a Thanksgiving feast and had about 6 people over for a very nice time on Thanksgiving day. I went to my first footie match in the UK, a QPR v Cardiff game and had loads of fun, besides the fact that it felt like my toes were going to fall off. I saw HP7 Part 1, which was great and I can't wait for Part 2 this summer. I've been drunk a couple times and hit on at bars/clubs even more. Anna and I have rapped in public and been stared at in amazement by all the British people around us as we follow along to all of Weezy's words, dancing along with it too. I've had quarrels with friends that hopefully won't effect the friendships. I've come to grips with reality on a number of things and learned that I really shouldn't care what others think of me. I've gotten a hair cut, dressed up, dressed down, and figured out that sometimes you just have to let go. I visited the UK National Archives at Kew, a multitude of lectures at LSE and Kings, and job interviews. I've been judged, sneered at, and looked down upon, but I'm just brushing it off.
I've got 21.5 days left here before I come home for break and I honestly could not be happier that it's such a short amount of time. I'm not homesick by any means, but I could use a good dose of old friends and the comfort of home right about now. I'm going to be on pins and needles until I turn my paper in, so hopefully no longer than December 8th. After then, it's relaxation. I'll be going to take pictures of the Hyde Park wonderland, so be on the look out for those. I'm going to a gypsy punk gig on the 15th, which should be interesting, because the band sounds very trippy. May need a bit of alcohol to go along with that flow. If anyone in London reads this, you should come along! The more the merrier!
I think that covers everything. May be popping in and out of here on and off while I write my paper. Hope all is well with you guys and that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Can't wait to see you all. Loads of love from across the pond!
