*I know it's been a while since I last posted. I'm on lunch break at the moment and didn't feel like going down to the staff room, so I figured I'd update this quickly:
*Have had a few, serious, up and down days the last couple of weeks. I never really thought I'd get to the point where I wanted to go home, but I suppose that's what stress mixed with a serious dose of home sickness will do to a person. Now that I've had some time to calm down and sort a few things out, I'm feeling much better. I was stupidly stressed last week, mainly due to personal things going on outside of school. My housing situation isn't the best and I'm really counting down the days until I'm moved out and on my own; I really need this coming school year to myself. However, when life hands you lemons, the only thing you really can do is make an ice cold pitcher, no matter how sour it may be; in this case, my limited time spent at home means more time running, going out with friends, and giving me more time to read at Starbucks (with the beautiful weather, it's now much cheaper as I can walk there). Along with making the best of the situation, I've learned that, contrary to my belief a few weeks ago, I really do have some great friends here--supportive and incredibly caring people who really do want the best for me--needless to say, I am not alone. Adam would, of course, be under that category--he too was incredibly helpful last week when I felt as though my being here was a huge mistake. Needless to say, things are most defniitely looking up!
*Yesterday was four months and we're going strong. Still incredibly happy. Still enjoying eachothers comapny. All and all things couldn't be better. Huge thumbs up to that :)
*Regardless of no longer being incredibly emotional and overtly homesick, I'm still looking forward to my time spent back in the good ol US of A :) Can't wait to see all of you lovely people!
*I'm starting to think about gradschool and my options for the 2010/11 school year. Right now my top (non-pipe dream) choice would be Kings College in London. With it's incredible 19th centre literature program, it's become my prime targe. Of course my pipe dream still is, and always will be, Oxford; maybe I'll apply just for the hell of it (we'll see).
*Anyway, I'm off! Even though the day is almost over, we have three long meetings this afternoon that will keep me here way past 5--lovely.
