Have a happy new year!

A happy and healthy new year to all my friends! I wish I was at home celebrating the new year with you!

Breakthrough

Okay, I'm a little better than last night. I had a really good day today, and I met someone else with bipolar disorder, which made me feel better. She and I have already talked about getting together for coffee or lunch at some point in time. It was nice to find someone who knew what I was going through. I think talking to her will help.
In even better news, pub quiz tomorrow night! Huzzah!

I can't stop crying right now.

I want to come home.

I'm so lonely right now.

Please don't tell anyone.

I'm supposed to be able to do this.

Why is this so hard?

I <3 Aaron Sorkin

Just another reason why scripted presidencies are better than real ones.

Read this article that Maureen Dowd commissioned. I don't just love because it's got President Bartlet and it was written by Aaron Sorkin, but it's brilliant. It's so true to form and honest about the state of our campaign cycle. Sorkin's added wit just adds to its excellence.

England!

Hello all! I am here in England and totally overwhelmed. The whole English system kind of intimidates me. It's much more intense than the American system. Or at least that's the way it seems right now.

It's still pretty quiet on campus. Not everyone has moved in yet. In fact, the classes don't even all start at the same time. Some students have already been here for three weeks, other classes don't start for another week. It's weird.

Well, I am actually quite tired right now. It's 11:30 here, and time for bed. Check out my other blog for more.

Good night, and cheers.

Farewell!

So this is it. My last post from the United States for four months. Don't worry, ye few but loyal readers, i will continue posting here. And...for those who want to know more about my travels I will be posting at a second blog. This one is specifically devoted to my travels, whereas this will remain a general blog where I will continue to discuss my life, the election, and the world in general.

So, adieu, mes amis! We shall meet again in due time. Enjoy your lives, and don't do anything to crazy! ;)

Signing off until the other side of the pond,

T-minus 9 days

So I'm up at my school right now, taking care of a few last minute things before I go to England for the semester. It's weird being here just as a visitor and not as a student. I feel almost out of place.

I can't believe I am going to England in just over a week. After that I won't be back in the states until January. January! Holy shit!

I was talking to a couple people today about my post-graduation plans. One says, "Definitely take a couple years off before going to grad school." The next says, "Definitely go to grad school." I say, "????????"

Not much else is going on. My life is pretty boring. I am really looking forward to the more exciting life I will live in the UK.

Someone called me adventurous today. I practically laughed at them.

People should write more about presidents in film and television. It would definitely make my life easier.
