I really should be working on my essays...

But, hey, I was pretty productive, I deserved the evening off. More work tomorrow.

I really have no idea what to write, but I wante to post. I have neglected this blog quite a bit this semester, for obvious reasons, and for that I apologize to ye few but faithful readers.
This being the last week of the semester (7 days till Europe!), I think I'll do a list of things I learned this semester:

-Robert Putnam will always haunt my academic career.
-British pub quizzes are harder than American pub quizzes.
-The microwave is my friend.
-I don't ever want to live by myself.
-I need my parents more than I thought. If it hadn't been for them, I wouldn't have made it through the semester.
-A five hour time delay can be quite long.
-There are people who will always be there for you, no matter what.

I had a rough semester. I had bad thoughts more than I'd care to admit, and I spent more than one night crying my eyes out. I tried really hard to be social, but UEA just wasn't the school for me. It was too big and overwhelming, and had too much of a drinking and party culture for me. But I learned a lot about myself, and that's important. I traveled, and I had my first taste of life outside of the college bubble. Was it worth it? That question is too hard to answer, because there are element I'd keep, but many more I'd leave behind.
Alas, next week the fun begins. I can't wait to see my best friend and my brother! I'm looking forward to it so much.
So what's going on in the states? Any thing interesting?
