Sooooooooooo, its been a great few days. Mondays LOW: Spending money at the Co-Op. Mondays HIGH: Top B and the craziness that ensued afterwards. When I got up, Melissa was packing to move out for the week. Her room has this nasty black mold all over the walls from the damp from the chimney bursting. So the Uni is putting her up in an on-campus flat. I helped her back for a while and basically emptied her room. It really sux that this is the week she has to move out, but shes coming back for meals and to do everything but sleep, so it shouldnt be too bad. After that, I got ready and Chris showed me to the Co-Op (food shop) down the road. I got groceries for dinner and we headed back to ... read more

So I am finally back in England!! Its now Sunday night, but Ill recap the last few days. Thursdays LOW: Getting on the plane. Thursdays HIGH: Being packing and actually leaving. So Thursday I left to go back to England. I had a 9:25 plane from Newark to London, Heathrow. I took a train from New London at 3:18pm that was suppose to take until 6:42, but ended up taking almost an hour longer. I practically ran off the train because I was really afraid of missing my plane because a train, A TRAIN, couldnt get to Newark on time. Was there traffic? Did we get pulled over? Did someone MISS the train and we had to wait for them? NO! I still dont understand. Anyways, I got to Newark at about 7:25. I got stopped ... read more

Where In The World Is Neil Hitchin

It seems quite strange sitting here in my nice comfy house with my dog bailey laying at my feet that in less than a week i'll be over the other side of the world, thousands or miles away from the places I know and the people I love. But before I get too bleary eyed i'll also say that this also is the most excited I've felt in a long time. The end of university had been a bit of a come-down, moving away from North Wales, and some of the best friends i've ever had, back to dreary old Coventry and awful awful Primark. Travelling is something i've wanted to do for as long as I can remember, and there were times in the last year where it looked like it might not happen, However ... read more

So I leave in about 36 hours, but before I do my final journey about England, here are the past few days... So on Sunday, people didnt get up till really late. It was like 330 before I saw more than just Christian and Kobi for a minute. Once people had gotten up, Chris and I went to Tesco and I went tanning. When we came back, I made some lunch, and from there on out Im pretty sure we all just chilled and watched Arrested Development. We must have watched about 3 hours worth, so that we finished the first season of about 22 episodes in 2 days, CRAZY. Anyways, I think from there on out we all just hung out and played tennis and whatnot. We tried to figure out what we were gonna ... read more

Back to the states.

So Im back in the states. I miss the UK. My last day at the flat was really bittersweet. I got up at like 11 and just laid in bed for a while, enjoying one last morning in my room. I then watched my favorite episode of Veronica Mars because I knew I would need to give season 1 back to Jonny. Eventually I got up and ready to run errands. I showered and then went around campus. I tried to pick up the movie Bobby from the Humanities building but the woman I needed wasnt there, so I then went to the Arts Center to pick up some cards for my flatmates and thank you cards for us to send to parents for letting us stay at their houses during the road trips. The cars ... read more

Some of the best days...

So quite a bit has happened in the past week or so. Last Sunday I studied for the exam I had this past Saturday, I been stressing because with Livia there, I really wouldnt have much time to study, plus this stupid exam was worth 100% of the course grade (I do not like the way they do that here). Anyways, later that night, I asked Melissa to get some money out for me from the ATM, Â£150, or $300. I figure with Livia being here and all I would need quite a bit to get through the week. She gave it to me and I had in the kitchen for the rest of the evening. When I left I took my things with me to my room. About an hour later I realized I didnt ... read more

So Ive been really bad at keeping this up this term, though I know I should be doing a better job. Anyways, I had two huge essays due last Wednesday, so I worked on those non-stop for like 4 days after prepping to do them for a week. I have an exam next Sat that Ill be studying for, though Livia being here might be a distraction. I cant wait for her to get here on Monday!! Other than the assignments, weve all just been hanging out all the time. Its nice not having classes and just doing homework, we all get to spend a lot of time just hanging out. I know thats not what university's about, but as long as you do the work. Plus, its the times well remember, not the books. Anyways, ... read more

Man, Im not doing a good job with this. Basically Ive been meeting with my professors, getting things from the library and hanging out with everyone. Im not really sure what I did last Wednesday and Thursday, but I do know that we watched the Apprentice on Wednesday and I took a bunch of books out on Thursday, like 10 books, oh and we ordered Chinese after hanging out in the hallway for like an hour. On Friday I got up at a decent hour so I could renew a movie I needed from the lib. Melissa, Daniel, Chris and I were planning to go to Coventry, so then picked me up from the library and Melissa drove us there. She got her hair cut short, it looks really good. We got food from this great ... read more
