Everything changes - you'll be amazed what you find...
Wow. So, today went from being a good day to a bad day to a good day again. My word I hate PMS. Ugh. I'm taking solace in the Phil Collins song 'look through my eyes' from the Brother Bear soundtrack. I put it on repeat, and listen and listen...it makes me feel BETTER. The lyrics encourage me. Great choice, 'santa'. : P
Yesterday I went to Bath. I got to see the Roman baths and the abbey there - both built in the first century. Absolutely amazing. I would highly suggest it.
Today it's sunny- I'm waiting for my hair to dry so i can take advantage of the sun. I've got to fill the chip so i can get a new gallery up soon - of the baths and the abbey. So I'll probably go to the 'lake' and take some pictures. I've decided that I LIKE photography - so one day i will have a great camera. Maybe I'll even take a course.
People here drink their hot chocolate funny. With water, not milk. Now, i understand that water is healthier...but milk is so much YUMMIER. mmm. so i took advantage of the absense of the Carloses to make myself REAL hot chocolate. It's nice.
I think Kora put it best when she said that I'd have gone crazy stuck at home doing nothing, then heading off straight to school. I think i would have. I'm trying to remember this as i fight off the tidal wave of homesickness that is trying to overcome me...ugh. I've gone a good...seven days without crying. Unfortunately I broke that running record today, when i sat down and started to cry at the computer. Ugh.
See, I'd write fascinating things about Wales, but i can't think of anything. Like, the Welsh gulp their tea. I sip mine..but the people hear just guzzle it. There are no water bottles -people don't carry them here like they do back home. It's rude here to ask to take home whatever food is left on your plate...ummmm. They drive on the wrong side of the road. See, i know that this is already common knowledge, but I find that the whole driving thing is so deeply ingrained in me I can barely deal...(I'll be spacing out in the car, and all of a sudden go "HOLY CRAP! ONCOMING TRAFFIC!" it's so subtle...)
I don't know how much internet access I'll have next week. It's a little dicey..so if you don't hear from me often or only in short, sporadic notes, please know why.
I want to watch brother bear now. That was such a good movie - expecially the bear at the end. heh. : ) I'm trying to think of things taht made me laugh/happy. What did Lisa call Jason's dancing? Because the wording in that made me laugh...
Miestones. MIESTONES! The Balloons in IT last year. OH the email I got from C that we were all looking at where Garrett walked in...uhh...that spectacular fall in the hallway made by rabbit...Mad skillz, yo...the time lisa and i kicked eachother sparring....Lord of the Rings, and all the craziness that ensued (Hi, I'm austin...not the best place to try to pick up women...) Korey and the "you're an idiot incident" (ask me, rabbit. I'll tell you). Little Women - Gilligans Island..."I HAVE NO SON" That bocci ball commercial...the corn maze and those irish accents...heh. TaeK. Dad and the Ballet.
I feel better now. Any more memories you want to add? I need some more, i think...
Tell everybody I'm on my way, and I just can't wait to be home.
