I've been in a kind of weird mood today. I have no idea why. It may be how much I miss London, which is a lot.
God, I just connected with the people there. It had been like we were friends forever. The people there understood me better than anyone that I've known for years, including my family. Maybe it was because we were only going to be

I feel like this post could have been generated by my keyboard and it would make perfect sense. Where did you study abroad? I went to UCL in the fall of my junior year, and while I can't say I loved the way the school did things academically (I ended up spending half my life in the medical library tracking down relevant course materials), the friendships I made there were priceless. I definitely got the same vibe you did from the people I lived with in London--I ended up boarding with several first year British students, and I realized what true, substantive friendship was seemingly for the first time. Those people knew how to kick it, but they also valued what I said and appreciated me for me. It was so refreshing, and when I came back to my American college I experienced the kind of letdown you only feel when you know you had it better before, and will probably never have it again

Yeah, you basically just put my exact feelings into words better than I could. So thank you for that, I was getting frustrated : )
You have no idea how good it feels to have someone, that was not in the original London group, understand what the experience was like. I studied at Richmond Uni in Kensington last semester; it was advertised as an international university, and ended up being more American than my school in New York. The whole experience still managed to be life changing and completely altered my views on American culture, and I would do anything to go back though (duh, ; p). When I'm bored I just sit at my computer and scroll through all my pictures... hoping to God for the chance to go back someday lol

The ones who pay more attention to what's going on in the world than to what the latest fashion trends are. They're the ones who look below surface levels and accept you for who you are. They think it's cool that you're a little off-beat, or unique.

This is why my social life is more or less entirely online. This is why I rarely speak to fellow Americans any more. Anyhow, stick to your views and unique-ness. =D

Agreed. Not being able to see the person you're talking to really makes getting to know them easier... and much less judgmental.

Where do you go to school? I find it kind of strange that in a theatre program people aren't more accepting. I'm not doubting you at all, it's just intriguing to me, I guess...

I always wanted to study abroad. Unfortunately, financially, it wasn't meant to be. I do have dreams of getting some sort of job that allows for some serious travel once I'm financially sound and debt-free. (if that ever happens).

PS I just realized that I assumed you were a theatre student. so sorry if that assumption turns out to be incorrect!

[isolated_glory]

Yeah I go to school in upstate New York, and I studied abroad last semester in London : )
And, unfortunately, I wasn't aware of how much I loved the theater until after I started in college so I'm just an English/Comm dual major... looking to employ herself in the theatrical industry.
But if you get the chance you should travel. Europe is such an amazing place, there is so much history and culture, it's overwhelming at first but once you adjust you realize that you'll never be the same. I really hope you get the chance to go, it will blow your mind : )

Wait so you're going to school in London? Or were you just visiting? Or do you live there? I'm so lost XD. Sorry. *noob here*

[isolated_glory]

Lol, I went to school in London last semester, but am now back in New York finishing out my degrees : )
Sorry, I know I'm confusing when I ramble lol.
