oops! this one's for steph
good things:
-i have an AMAZING group of friends here. most of them are british, two are american, and all are wonderful. i'm really really lucky to know them.
-i LOVE scotland. edinburgh is the safest, most fun, most "old world" gorgeous city i've ever been in. and there's always something exciting going on.
-my life is pretty damn exciting. i feel like i'm always having some kind of (albeit usually drunken) adventure and succeeding in making the most of my time here
-british tv is hilarious. ohhh hollyoaks, how i love you!
-the music scene here is INCREDIBLE. and i've gotten kinda indie, actually... listen to: the fratellis, dirty pretty things, klaxons, babyshambles, we are scientists, the kooks ("naive" is there good song), maximo park, and athlete. sooo good! also, living here, i've gotten kind of obsessed with oasis. how could you not??
-i have a job for the summer! i'm going to be interning at the queen's historical society in nyc, at a curator internship in this historic house, basically making a museum exhibit. to do so, i get to meet with curators at museums like the met, and go to auctions to find artifacts and analyze letters from the civil war!!! now i just have to find somewhere to live in nyc...
bad things:
-i made out with my best friend (see last post) and now things are fucking AWKWARD
-i have to leave soon!!!!!! i'm gonna be an absolute mess
-americans i meet here think i'm british! god knows why... apparently my inflexion has changed? i still think i sound blatantly american... maybe that's a good thing though? who knows.
-i have EXAMS HOLY CRAP NERVOUS- one on the 24th, one on the 25th, one on the 30th, one on the 4th and one on the 18th, and i am fucking scared...
-when i get back i have to have my wisdom teeth out and a filling that fell out (when i was flossing, ironically enough) replaced... i would've had it out here, but i got put on an 8 MONTH WAITING LIST FOR DENTAL SERVICE!!!!! the stereotypes, i'm afraid, are true
-my tolerance is enormous. i went out with friends a few weeks ago and i had 20 SHOTS OF APPLE SOURS and was fine. drunk, but fine. and that was on top of an ENTIRE PITCHER of long islands to myself! expensive!
-oh, and i'm now officially broke. thank you, exchange rate!
