How Could I Know That Everything You Say Are Lies About Devotion and Desire

As of this Tuesday, I will officially be done with my first term of grad school.  I lived to tell about it too.  Honestly though, it's not at all how I imagined it would be.  Truth be told, when I first got here, I thought I wouldn't be smart enough in terms of my class and that there would be loads of work to be done.  The former and latter, however, have not been the case at all.  Huge sigh and relief on that part.  I've turned in an amazing 4000 word essay for my boundaries class and am keen to see what the next term holds in store.

The week that lay ahead is easy going and I can't wait.  Tuesday I have my last Propaganda class and we'll be doing a revision session in preparation for the 2 hour sat exam in January.  I've really enjoyed that class and glad I got to keep a bit of IR in my life while living in the Geography world.  Wednesday I'm going to see Gogol Bordello and Thursday Anna and I are taking a day trip to the shire to hang out with Keen Bean.  I work at the pub this week too, then it's stateside on the 20th.

I can't wait to be home.  I really miss all of you and could use the change of scenery as well as some old, friendly, familiar faces.  I think three weeks is a good amount of time to have a dose of home before coming back to my London life.  I also CANNOT wait to drive again.  GoodNESS I've missed my car.  Don't get me wrong, walking everywhere is fine, but sometimes you just want to be somewhere when you want to be and London transportation isn't always the timeliest of travels.

Umm.... I don't really have much else to say.  Computer's been having a bit of an issue as of late.  Going back to Apple tomorrow to hopefully sort it out and then I will be able to post pictures again.  Hope you're all doing well.  See you soon!!!! XOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
