I woke up at 6am on a Sunday morning. I think the woman I was sharing the hostel room with was pissed off at me, but from what I could tell, she had somewhere to be pretty early, too. Still, I completely understand not wanting to wake up to the sound of someone else's alarm … Continue reading One Last Grand Tour of Paris
High, from Paris
I love heights. Am I afraid of them? Sure, I guess I have that healthy dose of fear that tells me to step away from an edge. But it never stops me from getting as close to the edge as possible. In fact, I don’t think I would love heights so much if I didn’t … Continue reading High, from Paris
I Ran Away to Paris
This place has terrible internet connection. Here’s hoping I don’t have to find the nearest Starbucks to post. (Update: I just needed a password. It works fine.) Boy have I got a post for you. Get comfortable. When I first came to England, I was so excited to be in Europe where all these countries were … Continue reading I Ran Away to Paris
Outfit of the Week: The Doll
Despite the horribleness of my background, I think I've figured out how to take these pictures so they don't look all yellow. This week's outfit was my way of taking advantage of warm weather in November, something that would never have happened back home. Because I wore this so soon after Halloween, which I hadn't … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: The Doll
My Halloween in London
You know, in the past couple of posts I said there'd be something to look forward to this weekend, but it has occurred to me that it was something more for me to look forward to than for you. You guys just get to read about it. I had an early start yesterday. I met … Continue reading My Halloween in London
Another Update
I had the induction for my new job today. I think I'm even more excited to work there than before, now. I think I'm going to really like it. For my ECP (aka Extended Creative Piece aka Creative Writing version of a dissertation aka thesis) my idea just wasn't working out so I switched to … Continue reading Another Update
Busy Days
(This post was written yesterday.) I'm trying to write a post every day, but yesterday I completely forgot. *Sigh* I guess I'm starting my streak over. Yesterday I got up for a 9am meeting that I found out was actually at noon. I spent my extra hours awake to work on an essay due next … Continue reading Busy Days
Making Conversation
It's raining, it's pouring, the day was far from boring. I had no class today. We were supposed to use the time to write our essays, due next week. Instead, I slept in, posted the Supergirl blog post, took a shower, had lunch, worked on developing a character for a little while (more on that … Continue reading Making Conversation
Friendships Abroad
I met up with a friend for lunch today. We haven't seen each other since before school ended back in April. It was really good to catch up, and it only took a minute for us to fall back into our old conversation habits. It was like we had last seen each other only last … Continue reading Friendships Abroad
Outfit of the Week: The Londoner
I'm finding myself spending a lot of time with my friends. Maybe I'm just overly aware that I won't be able to call them up to hang out as easily by this time next year. Being in a small town where everyone walks to where they want to go, even just a trip to town … Continue reading Outfit of the Week: The Londoner
