(no subject)
well, the first week of classes are over. it went by incredibly fast. i am quite scared of them, yet at the same time ecstatic about everything i've been learning. i literally want to squeeze each of my professors out of pure joy and love. but, i am definitely scared of all this work, and i must tackle it bit by bit i think to maintain my sanity.
i am seeing titus andronicus (as well as reading it for my renaissance drama lit class) on monday. i am seeing phoenix in october, and i am buying tickets to see paul simon in november. i'm dropping poundage on paul, around 40-45... but he is my hero...so money is of no consequence to me in that respect.
i have come to embrace living in london, but i do have periods of time in which i miss the skid desperately. right now i am longing for the period of time when autumn really takes hold and there is a distinct change in weather. from humid, warmer temperatures to the crisp, cold air that has a bite to it. i miss the changing of the leaves, and the smell of them decaying (not as morbid as it sounds). running to starbucks for a designer coffee drink that probably costs way too much than it is worth, yet gives a certain kind of comfort. something so banal as going to panera and bringing back food and watching sex and the city DVDs or law & order svu. i also miss burgess chai, why...i don't rightly know..but it goes hand in hand with loading up my books to hibernate in the library.
i have, however, come to believe that choosing to go abroad was one of the best decisions of my life so far. and i am glad that i have this experience that is just for me, and that i am getting outside of my comfort zone.
it is so, so, so good to have four of my bests in london with me. tuesday night was a terrific start to our semester here, and it is comforting to know that we can still have our same dynamic and still be our crazy, obnoxious, loud selves in a foreign country. i miss jess and kp though.
i will probably say this time and time again, but i am ridiculously excited for next semester. living in a house with saroo, jess, korn, and emily. having a house. just, how i imagine every day life will be next semester. it is quite the lovely fantasy. i must keep myself in check, though. because things can change in an instant.
