yes. definitely the worst day of my life ( Read more... )

less than an hour till go time. i'm nauseous and sleep-deprived and frankly, amazed i made it till now. (not like there was much sleep but) this is the beginning of the worst day of my life.
goodbye England, keeper of my heart! i will be back as soon as possible.

off to dinner in a sec. a real dinner this time too, haha. should be absolutely scrumptious. and with the best company in the world! i haven't been dumb enough to put make-up on again, but i am determined that i will not cry. how appropriate is it that we spend our last night together in a curryhouse? yay.

it is pouring rain.

oh. my. GOD. i am jealous. i mean, aside from the obvious (that i won't have them as housemates) their house is incredible.
in England, it's quite common for second-years and up to move out into student houses. they have student real estate agencies helping them, and most have competitive rates, and student-oriented perks. basically, all of my ( Read more... )

over the year, a common sight around C Block has been Lee with his posh cameras. he's been documenting student life in our corridor, and i just saw some of the evidence. there are about 80 black and white prints so far, and they're beautiful. they're not perfect or technical or special - but they are real. they are Cell Block. Emily, Jack, me, ( Read more... )
