Okay, so I know I said that the Germany stuff would be coming soon, and it will... just not yet! Basically it's 11:40 pm, I just emailed my amazing mother my last two essays so that she can "bleed" all over them - note: my mother does not physically injure herself to do this, she just uses a red pen and her brilliant editing skills to make my papers look intelligible. - Anyway, so I'm hyper, I have tons of energy because once those last two papers are edited and turned in then I am done! Haha... that's such an exciting thing to say, I will have over a week to rock London like there's no tomorrow... Yea, super hyper and I have no idea what to do to calm down.
Quick update on life... things are going well, most of my lectures finished this week, I have one left on Monday that I can go to or not... my choice. I turned in two essays already and had a not-so-wonderful expereince with one of the receptionists in the psych. office, don't get me started on her, I'll just say she made me cry and I have to go see her again to turn in these other two essays (pray for the best). I went and say the London Symphony Orchestra once again, this time with Midori as a guest and they play pieces from British composers... I loved all of it... I went bowling the other night with some friends and Spanish exchange kids, we all had a great time and it was only 2GBP per game, that crazy! I sucked, but that's okay, we all had fun anyways.
OH MY GOODNESSS... and then the next morning I saw Chronicles of Narnia, oh dear goodness I loved it so very very much. I was excited to see it even before any of the Biola kids who got to go to the exclusive premire on the 8th before it was publicly released on the 9th (how you ask? it released on the 8th here, and with the 8 hour time difference, I basically say it at 3am your time on the 8th). This is what happens when I'm hyper, I post random things about time differences and information that probably no one else cares to know. Oh well, the movie was amazing, go see it! Yes, they cut a lot of the story and I am dissapointed about some of the things they cut, but... everything else makes up for it. The dynamic between Lucy and the Fawn is astounding. Lucy was perfectly cast, she pulled all the right heart strings... I could go on but you all should see it for yourselves and make your own judgement. Moving on...
Things that are coming up for me: Christmas shopping will hopefully get finished tomorrow, I get to see the LSO again, this time with the choral so that should be amamzing; there's talk of going iceskating in the open air somewhere... but we'll see; amazing Christmas concert at Royal Albert Hall that I know I'm going to get all emotional at because it's the day before I leave; and some other stuff but that's all I remember right now.
Right now I'm not ready to come home, I was ready when I had 5 essays to write in the matter of two weeks, but once I was done with 3 of them I didn't want to come home, and now I really don't. I have a good idea, everyone should move to London! Yea, it wouldn't work I know, but it would be interesting. I do miss my family, and it is hard to listen to Christmas music without having close friends and family around; but I'm afraid that once the holiday is over I will be ready to come back here. Oh, conflicted feeling are never fun!
Anyways, there's a brief snapshot of what's going on over here. Since I am basically done with my work I can focus more on getting info up about Germany, and if you're lucky I might bust out the lsat four days on my travels before coming to Roehampton (I know they should have been posted long ago, be patient with me). Well, goodnight and I hope that everything is going well on the home front. Lots of love to you all!
Cheers!
