I will be gone a total of 17 weeks. Dear, oh, dear, how time flies… I’m not counting down the days because I hate it here and want to go home. No! I love it here now! Really,...

home: not so far away.
I will be home in less than two months. I can’t believe it. I’m finally all settled and loving it here, then I’m going to have to leave. I’d rather have it be like that than wishing for December 21 to hurry up because I hate it.  Life update: I’ve got my classes under control. I will be traveling to more amazing places than I can fathom. In fact, I’m...

skype is wonderful. absolutely wonderful.
proof of my times on skype. I didn’t catch pictures of everyone, but here are a few of my favorites: Some of these really make me wonder what it was we were talking about to get such great reactions… this one’s better: it’s quite funny that my sister straightens up when she finds out I can take a snapshot at any second :) and last but not least, my...

too bad, so sad
look who’s coming to London town! Too bad I’ll be in Nebular by then…otherwise I’d so be there. I guess I’ll just have to wish and wait for their MidWest tour (yeah…right, like that’ll happen).

so much for accomplishing anything...
yes, I believe I mastered the art of not doing homework years ago. today is no exception. I’m sitting in a Costa Coffee in the Market Square, listening to a man play violin. So far I’ve heard Ava Maria (thinking, “Wait, that sounds like Christmas…”) and I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You. I’m really starting to really like this place. Next order...

look what I got in the mail:  a card from my sister and the girls. It has nuns, vampires, and naughty “cross” words - well, symbols, haha - and I think it’s great!  I love getting mail! Especially from my big sis! Thanks B! here’s to love + kisses + face-licking + exaggerated stories + an early happy halloween + some great big hugs + more lovin’

British Terminology 101
Here’s my compilation of British vocabulary. Funny how we all speak English, but yet there are a lot of differences. If I’ve missed any, fill me in! knackered - tired wankered - trashed/hammered way out - exit give way - yield top up - fill up (they “top up” their phone with minutes) jumper - sweater trolley - shopping cart prawn - shrimp give it a go - to try...

Funny British thing:
I just gave my landlord “a fright” because he heard someone in the kitchen and he thought I was gone for the day. Whoops!

I last straightened my hair Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Until today: October 9, 2011.  My landlady’s daughter let me borrow her straightener. It was a joyous occasion. Before: After: Miracle. Then I spent the day at Hampton Court. #Winning

just what I needed.
I came across this last night. It’s from the devotional by Oswald Chambers (well, his wife compiled it) called “My Utmost for His Highest” - and this is the online format: utmost.org The Place of Ministry We can remain powerless forever, as the disciples were in this situation, by trying to do God’s work without concentrating on His power, and by following instead the ideas...
