let's see. the ball weekend was wonderful. i mean, perfect. even though a bunch of us were sick, it still managed to be one of the best weekends of my life. it was so good to see aleks, to talk with her and to know that we will be back together next fall at scripps, it was lovely to see sarah, my friend from high school and get to spend a little time laughing with her, it was so much fun to hang out with my family and friends together, expecially since a lot of us were on the same footing, not really knowing anyone else that well. and it was so good to be at home again. i love my family, they are amazing and i will never want for anything other than them. well, them and ben.
ah yes, ben. i'm in love. it is the most amazing feeling in the world, and one of the worst, as we won't see each other for another 8 weeks, and are therefore once more limited to the phone, im, and facebook. and each of the letters he sends me, one a day (usually). guys, i am so happy. we work, we are just right for each other. and he fits so easily into my life - my family loves him and all my friends liked him, meg approved, it was just the most wonderful thing in the world to be at home with my family, in the city that is my home, in the arms that i now call home. wow that was cheesy. really cheesy, i apologize. but it's true. crazy no?
ah life, is wonderful. except there has been a nagging sensation of homesickness, for vienna and for claremont, ever since i got to london. don't get me wrong, i am enjoying myself, but not as everyone else is. i like the people, sure, they're nice, but nothing compared to all of you. and i don't think any of them will stay in my life after this. and isn't study abroad supposed to be the time of one's life? well, let me tell you, this one isn't. my favourite part of being here is the academics. that tells you something. oh, and the theatre. anyways, i've only 8 weeks left, one of which is a break (i am going to madrid for that one), then i get 2 weeks back with all of you in claremont. still don't know what i will be doing this summer, must get on it. anyways, hopefully next time i update i'll be more cheery. i realize that the only times i've posted since london have been negative. ah well. that's kinda the mood i've been in since coming here. poo. someone cheer me up, please :/ and warm me up, as there is no heat in the building...
