 Kaitlen, Mercedes, & me |
Now that I’ve signed a lease for a place in Westwood, I can stop stressing about couch surfing at my brother’s & enjoy the rest of my summer until school begins. Lots of projects I need to finish before school gets out of control though. Not going to bore you with my to-do list, so here are a bunch of pictures from Europe.
 Pad Thai from Nahm |
This post features pictures from my latest albums all taken in England in Brighton & London. I had the pleasure of meeting two wonderful bloggers who live in England: Becca of ThisMonster.org & Faye of Bonkers.me. I’ve known both of them for quite some time & it was really exciting to finally meet them after years of friendship. Pictured above is Faye’s plate of Pad Thai. It was her first time trying Thai cuisine at a Michelin star restaurant to boot & said she really liked it!
 Venice! |
My study abroad program in Brighton is sadly over, which means my adventures in Europe are over…for now. I’m vowing to return to Brighton to see the things some of my peers got to see–such as the countryside & Sussex castle–that I didn’t get to see. Although London was my favorite city to visit on the weekends, living in Brighton for 8 weeks felt like a home away from home. I never wanted to leave! Still in denial that I’m back in the States & that it’s all over *cries*.
Layout update no one cares about other than me: Extended the banner, added new pictures, extended the content area. Decided that pictures henceforth these albums shall be 780 by 517 pixels. Should’ve done this before I went to Europe though…oh well. Still have the originals for all the photos.
 The Roman Baths |
You guys…I have some trivial first world problems: too many pictures to sort through & not enough space on my laptop to store the originals. WHAT DO I DO?! I should’ve brought my external hard drive. Guess I’ll have to buy a USB stick capable of storing at least 10 GB of things. Or buy 2 with 5 GB memory. What the heck is taking up so much space on my laptop?! Whatevs, onto Europe stuff.
The first session of my study abroad program is over already. I haven’t received a grade for my Harry Potter paper yet or for the class, but let’s hope I earned an A.
Less talk, more pictures. Here’s a ginormous photo dump for you to browse through to promote lingering for longer than 5 seconds. Hover over the images for a caption.
 Italy, here I come! |
Flying away to Italy this weekend & I still have pictures to post from Bath & France. After I finish my 2500 word paper on Harry Potter for my Anthropology class on Religion & Ritual, those pictures will be up. This is also assuming we’ve booked our hostels & figured out ways to get from Venice to Rome without busting our bank accounts. Yes, I’m serious about the subject of my paper (titled “Rites of Passage, Rituals, and Symbolism in the Magical World of Harry Potter”). No, I don’t care that it makes me seem like a total nerd because the Harry Potter series is brilliant & everyone should read it. Trust me, in order for me to get an A in the course, I need to use anthropological journals to support the brilliance. Not like I can afford to write a 2500 word paper sounding like an idiotic fangirl (not a fangirl FYI) when my grade depends on it. Compare it to Twilight & die. You can enjoy them both, but you cannot compare the two because I said so (JK, they’re different genres, obvi) or I’ll end you.
Thanks for all the comments, guys! I’ll be sure to return them all soon too.
