Just a quick note
February 22, 2006
Hello everyone! I am incredibly busy right now but haven't updated in a week so I thought I would fill you in on life. :) My friend Heather arrived on Friday and we spent the weekend exploring London -- going to some of my favorite places. I finally had time to spend at the British Museum really enjoying all that there is to offer there (the reading room is probably my new favorite room in the world!).
It is week seven of term so I am busy writing essays, trying to figure out my summer plans and looking forward to the many trips and adventures up ahead, most notably my trip to Scotland this weekend! First I am trying to start my 3000 word essay due Tuesday on globalization and the welfare state. Amazing!
At LSE I have had some of the most amazing lecturers ever and I'm not kidding. Most of them are even really friendly, approachable and seemingly compassionate. Being here has made me question what I want to do after I graduate. The options seem quite endless, which I think is my problem. :)
My big news of the week: Jen and I bought tickets to see Kelly Clarkson next month in Sheffield (2 hr train ride away) and tonight we bought tickets to see the Foo Fighters and the Strokes in Manchester (4 hr train ride away), where they will be playing on a cricket field! We are SOOOO excited!!!
Ok, well I should get back to work. This weekend is my nephews 9th birthday and I'm going to miss being there for it. Hopefully this summer I will be able to catch up on some lost time with the family...
P.S. Jen and I have begun booking our Easter break amazing journey across Europe! :) It looks like 17 days of craziness starting in Portugal going all the way to Germany hitting as many major cities as possible.
