I'm back on the eastern side of the pond but I wish I was still in NJ. I had the most fabulous time as my last entry indicated. I'm horribly jetlagged though. I returned home at midday yesterday and gave in to sleep at 5 p.m. I woke at 5 a.m. stayed awake for three hours and then fell asleep again until my friend woke me up with a phone call at a ( Read more... )

Greetings from the other side of the pond to usual. I am having the BEST time here and I really don't want to go home. So far I've seen Times Square, the Rockefeller Center, freaked out in the NBC store over all the Office merchandise, walked through Greenwich Village, Little Italy, Chinatown, taken the Staten Island ferry, checked out the Statue ( Read more... )

So today I walked... a lot. It was sunny but still cold and yesterday I couldn't feel my toes when cycling so I decided to walk into town and back. My housemate should not leave me alone in the house (although I'm no longer technically alone... I'm hamster sitting :) ) because when she does I do crazy things... I rented License To Wed. I just ( Read more... )

Surprisingly, I'm having a pretty nice day.

I don't like Valentine's day. I never have. It's over commercialized and stressful and always manages to make single people feel ten times worse than they usually do about the fact that they've not found another half yet. And of course this is the view of a bitter singleton... but on the rare occasion that ( Read more... )

I think I've managed to get my body onto Pacific Standard Time. That's not bad going when I live in the GMT zone. I finally nodded off at around 7/7.30 this morning and woke again a little after 2 p.m. I don't know how I'm going to manage a 9.30 lecture in three days time. The revision course is going to be the death of me. However, I'm pretty much ( Read more... )

It's a quarter past seven in the evening here. We've eaten a wonderful dinner and I'm trying not to pop out of my new skirt. My parents are currently glued to Doctor Who (which I can't stand) so I thought I'd come online and share my amazing calendar with you all.

It's Christmas! We've opened the presents, eaten Christmas cake and I had a PBJ for lunch... what?!

My housemate gave me the best gift. She said she wanted to buy me a JKras calendar but couldn't find one anywhere (even the NBC website) so she made me one with Pam and Jim in it. It's awesome! And she used the Casino Night kiss for December so I ( Read more... )

Tell me this isn't funny...

I was just watching the evening news and the anchor handed over to a reporter called Jonah Fischer. The name caught my attention because, obviously, I thought he'd said Jenna.

But what was the report about? Whales!!!

I'm back up north for the holidays. Although today has consisted less of being Christmassy and more of trying to learn stuff about the emergency drugs I'm expected to know inside out. I am, however, even more in love with Marks and Spencer than I usually am. On the way back last night we stopped at a garage just before we hit the motorway and there ( Read more... )

Okay, so I have a confession to make. Because I'm so desperate to do anything that doesn't involve studying I did exactly what I said I didn't want to do. I saw the movie. What can I say? I'm a hypocrite. And I completely confused the cashier by asking for a ticket to see The Northern Lights. And I was totally on the money: it bugged the hell out ( Read more... )
