It's been so cold in London. Everything is frozen. Fountains, sidewalks. I am hoping that tonight, as predicted, we will receive some snow. My sweetheart's birthday was yesterday and we had a wonderful evening of celebration despite trying to move around on cold public transport between warm places. Now he has gone on a trip to Paris, and I am here alone in our little rented room. My roommate has been fighting with her boyfriend for about two weeks now and its distracting me a bit. I feel really over living with roommates that aren't family or my boyfriend. I need space to think and make and not get wrapped up or bothered by other people's drama. I guess it would be ok to live with non-dramatic people. This week I hope to have the focus in alone time to start work on a new zine and keep working on my senior thesis, which is starting to form itself on the page.
My mother has been ill since December and I have been contemplating returning to Washington for spring quarter so that I can help her, and take my last quarter on campus at Evergreen instead of doing work back in France. Going back actually sounds somewhat nice, to see friends and be in school there and help my mother get well... but I would not be in Europe, which would make me sad and I would not see my lover for probably about 3 months, so I need to wait and decide what to do based on how much my mother needs me... for now i am planning a trip in the first week of March to Dublin to see the 200 year old journals of a woman I am researching and have fallen in love with... either way, I will still get to go and read those before either WA or France in the spring.
but for now, just zining and hoping for snow tonight.
