You Don't Amuse Me
I'm at work right now. There isn't much to do...hence why I am updating this again so soon. I could be working on things for classes...but eh, that'd be too smart. Hopefully things will pick up here soon.

I don't mean to sound like I am taking this experience for granted, or that I regret coming here, because I def. do not. But I miss home a lot, and could not imagine being here for an entire semester. It is ridiculously stressful living with 24 other people, and outside of work, never interacting with anyone else. When someone annoys me, I can't just go home and get my space so I can get over my frustrations. Rather, I have to continue to see that person and the tension builds up inside me. I need space...I need privacy. As the trip goes on there are less and less people I plan on seeing again after the trip, although I am sure this will change once I've been home and away from them for awhile.

I miss really good customer service all the time. I miss free public bathrooms. I miss shopping at Martins. I miss cheap beer. I miss having my own shower, and feeling 100% clean after I shower. I miss Eleanor Rigby. I missed seeing fireworks on the 4th of July. I miss my best friends, and my dad.

But I know once I go home I'll miss Pret. I'll miss being able to walk or take the tube practically anywhere. I'll miss Strongbow cider. I'll miss tons of entertainment all around the city for free. I'll miss all the museums. I'll miss seeing Caitlin and Brad everyday.

On a happier note: Paris this weekend !!! : )
I'm really excited to go the Louve and the Eiffel Tower.

Tonight I am going on a tour of the National Theatre. Then maybe I will actually work on one of the 4 papers I will have due during finals week. Or my presentation for next week. Meh...maybe!
