So, the Celts won last night. I'm happy for them, but I'm not much of a basketball fan.. so I'm not freaking out like the rest of the city.

I came into work this morning and the entire area around my building was covered in workmen. Putting up tents, cleaning up the area, organizing vans - and then I realize... there's going to be a Parade tomorrow ( Read more... )

There is one long-ass line outside the TD Banknorth Garden for Celtics tickets... And all the Boston news stations have vans outside my office building.

In other news, I did not want to get up this morning. My bed was comfy. I was warm. It was rainy and cold outside. I debated getting breakfast at Ellen's new cafe on Franklin Street, because it was ( Read more... )

After a quick trip home to surprise Josh for his graduation, I'm back in Brighton. The weekend was fantastic. Thursday night I spent the evening with my family. We caught up a bit, I made them Pimm's, and we watched John Oliver's stand up routine. I got to sleep in my own bed (which is 10 times more comfortable than I even remembered), and in the ( Read more... )

Well, I just handed in my last two papers and I'm officially done with classes at Sussex. My junior year is over - kind of hard to believe. And I leave England in 3 week. Even weirder ( Read more... )

It's a gorgeous English summer day.  Seriously, amazing. Sunny, not a cloud in the sky 21 (70) degrees with a lovely breeze ( Read more... )

 It's funny how one little thing and make a difference in someone else's day. This afternoon I got an e-mail from the secretary of the Sociolgy Office at Clark. It was just a general e-mail reminding students that there is a party this Friday for Sociology students and profs to send off the Seniors and recognize the new members of Alpha Kappa Delta ( Read more... )

It's my birthday.. or rather my birthday actually just ended. And it's been bittersweet. I'm in Madrid with Sarah and her host mother (her "senora") until April 3rd, when I move on to Stockholm to visit Jo. So slept in today, took a shower, got myself breakfast, and proceesed to explore "Old Madrid" on my own. It was a lot of fun. I wandered down ( Read more... )

I am writing from a table in the back of Le Deux Moulins in Montmartre. It's packed with people and I am sipping on of the best cups of chocolat I have ever had. It's so chocolate-y they actually just bring you a cup of warm ganache with a small creamer of hot milk that you mix in on your own. The was a live band playing jazz, but they just left.

 Well, i just handed in about 7,000 words worth of work... with one more paper to be finished (about 2,000/3,000 done). None of them are due until Thursday.

Damn straight.

I hate doing massive work like this, but I gotta say, it sure feels good when it's done. Hopefully my last paper will be done tonight and handed in tomorrow. Then I can focus on ( Read more... )

 I love this movie. I tend to measure my love of movies by how many times i can watch them and not get sick of them. Once (5-6 times) and Amelie (10+times) are by far my favorite movies of all time.

And I love this song. Not for the lyrics (I don't tend to listen to lyrics, not because I don't want to but because I have a really hard time focusing ( Read more... )
