HALLOWEEN....yeah, it's really not that exciting
So it's Halloween and the usual madness that surrounds such an evening appears to be lacking. The whole weekend has actually been Halloween, with opportunities to dress up every night. So it really doesn't make the actual night all that special. Definitely just staying at Theo's for a bit of scariness, and presto, the evening will be over. Ah well.
Work is dominating my day today. Arabic mostly, but maybe I'll get some reading done on emotions. Dense stuff, but turning out to be pretty cool. Oh yes, and of course a little analysis of eroticism. But, like I've said, that's got some fantastic ideas in it that I'm amazed the ancients thought of.
My great mood keeps wobbling every now and again. I think I'm not into a flow yet. There are so many different things going on. Hilary and Trinity term are supposed to be when everyone is well settled, clubs and societies know what they're doing, and you'e got your set group of friends. Although, a lot of people (Americans) that I'm friends with will be leaving after this term, which is a little crazy. I'll need to make sure Selina, Jessica, Danielle and I all stay in touch. Danielle said she may be visiting NYC in August, so that'll be cool to see her then. And I'm sure John is going to pop into the city, hopefully dragging Lee in from CT if necessary. I'll need to plan a weekend trip out to California to see other people.
Oh, and speaking of trips, here's a listing, thus far, of where I'm sure to be headed during my time over here:
1) Italy - Dec with Anna
2) Paris - Jan with Lauren (and Quito?)
3) Spain - Jan with Lauren (and Quito?)
4) Scotland
5) Ireland
6) Austria - March with the fam to visit fam!
7) Moscow - April(?) with JP, John, Trevor, Joe, and (?-i forget the last person)
8) Wales (thanks for the comment Anna - youuuu bitch. Love you!)
9) and I think a few random places in England with British pals
OK, enough stalling, on to the shower, then more work. I've only got one sentence done so far for Arabic, so I've gotta get my butt moving if I'm heading to poker at 6 (Danny is gonna go down! He is not he master of the table!) If that one amateur is at my table again, I'm going to kill him...I don't know the name, oh, but I know that smug face...
