Well, I'm heading out to England tomorrow morning! I feel... well, queasy, truth to be told. Especially as the friend I was going with (not in the same flight, but was going to take the same classes, and stuff) has been having a really rough time as of lately and is probably not going after all. Ack. But well. I'm determined to have the time of my ( Read more... )

I've been on a sort of quest for mexicanidad for the past few weeks. Like, seriously. Since January 1st, I've eaten in 8 taco stands, being the regular kind, barbacoa tacos and al vapor tacos. I've had pozole twice (in a row). I've had enchiladas, sopa de pasta, the weird imitation yakimeshi at the sushi place around my grandma's street that fails ( Read more... )

I had to do some minor paperwork for Leeds today and my nerves are back with a vengeance. Apparently, a dude from school is taking the same flight as me, which is a relief, even thought I've never met him in person (I'll still latch on to him like a freaking leech, whether he wants it or not), but what isn't a relief is him not answering my e-mails ( Read more... )

Okay, so this has been everywhere as of lately and I'm starting to worry - just how cold is the UK right now? Like, will I be freezing? Is it snowing? Because while I'm taking warm clothes and stuff, I still don't own anything is built for a really cold winter - we might get some cold here, but you still go down to short-sleeved t-shirts at noon.

Okay. I'm leaving for England in two weeks and a half, and I'm already scared out of my mind. I'm a really apprehensive person, just making my timetable for school sends me into fits of nervousness, and now, hell, I'm really, really afraid. Like, I know it's only a semester and that I'll have a fantastic time once I'm there, but right now? uuuuuugh ( Read more... )

The past two weeks felt like a slow, stressing build-up to the visa appointment yesterday, and now that it's done, and out of my hands; and having sent the application for accomadtion in Leeds, I feel sort of free, and weirdly blissfully happy, haha. I'm humming to the sountrack of Amelie, you guys, that's how happy I feel, lol. Maybe I should ( Read more... )

European folks in my flist!

The, uh, liaison, you could say, between my Uni and Leeds University, just e-mailed me and between some other stuff (oh God the British visa I need to apply and I have to do it in Mexico City oh why, it's 7 hours by bus uuuuugh) he said I need to get this Shengen visa to move around Europe. I'd, uh, never heard about ( Read more... )

OH MAN. I'm tired. I sort of forgot I had to do a portfolio for the student exchange, and apparently the guy in charge is going to Belgium or something on Sunday and is passing through Leeds to drop the applications ( Read more... )

I still haven't watched Who's finale. I'm dreading it a bit, if I have to be honest. UM. In other news, I had to go to school once again to fix yet another thing with the student exchange. The paperwork has been so exhaustive and long that I BETTER get accepted. Grr.

I re-read all of my Card Captor Sakura collection last week (physical collection ( Read more... )
