about 5 or 6 weeks ago, i got the call from my mom to tell me that my grandmother had terminal cancer. at the time, we thought she would at least have a few months to live. a couple of weeks later, i went home for break and spent a lot of time with her. she's the only grandparent who i'm really close with, so it was hard for sure. when i left ( Read more... )

i leave for hamilton in 3 days. pretty excited about that. not so excited about the weather forecast, though. the high is gonna be right around the freezing level on wednesday, and by sunday, high will be 7 fucking degrees. just in time for my first day of classes on monday, the 21st (MLK day, which the school doesn't observe for some reason).

break is going great so far. my first day in barcelona didn't go very well - lets just say that i put my entire trip in jeopardy with one really stupid move. i'll get more into this later...i'm running on not a lot of sleep, and i'm gonna go to bed real soon. i have 3 more nights of vacation to party ( Read more... )

fall break is here for us NYU-London students. classes don't resume until the 12th of november, so we all have essentially 9 or 10 days off to do whatever the hell we want. some kids are going back home (lameo!) some are staying in the british isles, some are meeting parents...but the majority (myself included) of students is traveling over to ( Read more... )
