Marching Bands of Manhattan...

*So I've returned to Milton Keynes after a very exciting and, at times, crazy summer vacation spent back at home. Adam surprised me by meeting me at the airport, even though he had convinced me he wasn't able to take off from work. I was ecstatic!

*For everyone I ended up seeing during my time in the States, it was wonderful to see you all. For everyone else whom I could not see, I will be back in December. Unfortunately, the one thing I've learned from my visits over the past year is that I will not always be able to see everyone during my stay. It sucks; but it's also the reality of living so far from my friends and family.

*With that said, being back meant moving into my new apartment. I love this place. And the best part: it's all mine! My first one bed room apartment! I officially feel like an adult. That's not to say I wasn't an 'adult' last year. However, I have to say, living with that many people was certainly reminiscent of being back at Towson. It had a very college-esque feel to it. This new place is my own 'home.' Even with my shoes, clothes, and various personal belongings still strewn across my floors (I've only been living here a total of two days), it's beginning to feel like a place I will be able to call 'home'; not just a house that has all of my stuff. Once I get settled in and feel it looks presentable, I'll take pictures and post them.

* I'm going to see Avenue Q in the West End on Saturday evening. Adam surprised me (once again) with tickets after he had heard me talk about wanting to see the show. I literally made mention of it once to my father during Adam's stay in Jersey. I couldn't believe it when he told me where we were going.

i'm thinking your should hang onto this one, and look into find me one that is just as thoughtful. and a job in england would be great too!

enjoy your apartment- living on my own, in my own apartment in college was one of the best things i have ever done. it really made me grow up a bit, and i loved making my own choices. it was so peaceful and nice to have a place that if i wanted to get away from things, i could.

i miss you and can't wait to see you in Dec. and with that- i'll leave you with a quote from a song in Ave. Q-

"What do you do with a BA in English, What is my life going to be? Four years of college and plenty of knowledge, have earned me this useless degree. I can't pay the bills yet, cause I have no skills yet, the world is a big scary place, but somehow i can't shake the feeling i might make, a difference, to the human race!"

I would say you figured out what to do with one =D
