wow
what the hell is going on back at home?
the san diego crew is going stealth style under the radar. they are all missing in action. lindsay...get away from the band boys for one sec to update me. amanda? i see you online, email me. Jes! nyc stolen you away already? i chatted with elijah today. things are going well for him, and i'm super super stoked about our apt. i can't believe how things worked out, and i'm glad and excited for my homecoming =)
irvine kids? what's up? i see more and more the eplc people having drama and sadness. but maybe i'm all wrong. i'll just keep silently watching from the other side of the world. but um, i'm kinda getting the picture when i IM ppl and they 100% of the time don't respond. but i'm slow, so it might take a while for your msg to sink in. i hope lyds having fun in italy. i'm excited to go in a few weeks. im glad some others are being studious and hard workers, i'm actually really proud.
chandra...my love. what is going on? miss you too...i hope things are progressing for you and that you're relaxing.
chahi? what are you doing? c'mon...you can do this. remember? i'm on my feet, i'm on the floor, i'm good to go...so c'mon baby sing me something that i know, i always wanna feel like part of this was mine, i wanna fall in love tonight...
anyways...onto some new-found friends in oxford. got a lot closer to jari recently. she's the coolest girl, and we're interested and passionate about the same things. i can learn so much from her. mandy/alex/dina...im gonna be a better rommate. matt? what the hell? how drunk were you? jk. are you ready for my tutorial? ohh...brace yourself. my first essay is coming. like no other.!!!!(!*£!)£(!. i'm excited here.
europe's having a "record heatwave". it's great.
oh god guys...mayorca was beautiful. paradise found. it was super relaxing and amazingly gorgeous.
and barcelona? ha...even better than mayorca. i learned so much about myself on that trip. and i got my ass kicked by my own big mouth. it was great. i think i finally learned my lessson!!!! hah.....a little shoutout to aldo's cat is required. =(
what else can i say? this really is the ultimate experience for me. i've never done something so difficult while having so much fun in my life. so many outings are extremely stressful but rewarding at the same time. the academic stimulus is nothing compared to the social skills involved on this trip. i've never felt so many emotions all at once, and learning to deal with them in an absolute foreign enviroment. i'm glad i put myself up to this challenge. but all the while, things are planned out for me, i don't have to worry about having nothing to do, or not being able to have others (partners in crime) to hang out w/. im loving this trip. it is lonely at times, and it's not hard to figure out what i want to accomplish on this trip. but it's a maze trying to navigate through the journey or process in which i'll accomplish those goals.
i want to better my understanding of european cultures.
i want to study and actually retain knowledge/book smarts.
i want to boost my enthusiasm in politics and the media.
i'm going to get a better understanding of what kinda of career i desire.
i'm gaining valuable knowledge about school and internships and how to work the system.
hell....my roommate is president of the pre-law society. (and a party girl)
jari's the president of the sociology honors society. there are so many inspiring people here. and i want to be motivated, while contributing something of my own.
yes, this sounds like a bunch of bullshit. but it's true, and i'm happy.
hm..what else?
my family's doing good. my dad sent me a very cute email offering $ in case i was running low. i was just thinking on the plane today that i was spoiled. and...i know my parents really want the best for me and love me. and i might even say i'm buying into their reasoning that, they expect so much from me, because they think i have talent. it's a nice thought. but i think every parent thinks that about their children. honestly, i know that they're good parents, and that their approach to supporting me/challenging me is really appreciated by me. my mom gives me the liberal/feminist/ambitious-ness attitude,...her fav saying to me is "work hard, play hard". she wants me to embody that completely. while.. my dad on the other hand is the more careful/calculating/pragmatic type. alawys telling me to double check, and do things early, take preventative measures to ensure the safety of something. i like it...! but of course, i'll probably be bitching about them in approx....oh....3 mins. hehe
ok, this post is way tooo long. it's 4 in the morning. and i got lots to do...night
