TGIF?

Heyy Guys :)

Its Fridayyy! Which means one week from today, and as of 5 hours ago, Austin will be here!! And yet even though we've been planning an itinerary for 2 weeks (yes i am that much of a nerd) we still don't know what we're doing that first day. hmm

But in other good news, the C that I was freaking out over managed to become a B. So all is good now ;) I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and you make it through this first weekend without whatever (if anything) you gave up for lent!

Tonight we're going to see one of my amazingly talented friends in a play near Tower Bridge which I'm extremely excited about because she is sure to be a star. The next few days are going to be jam packed with work that I should be doing when Austin is here but wont so next blog= really long time from now.

My poor little blog, who left you alone like this?

Hello anyone that is still mildly entertained by my life! (Count me out) I'd like to put a really good excuse here as to why I've been MIA but I don't have one. So I'll get to the point--

My second semester here started 3 weeks ago. I actually adore my classes this time around! Any life without finance is a good life. I'm taking Planning & Mgmt. of Events, Marketing, Events Law and Org&Mgmt. Now that I'm used to the way things work around here I feel really good about these classes and I've made a lot more friends in my classes even though my teachers or "tutors" still call me the American, when clearly, I have a name. My grades from 1st semester won't be in until March 6th, I've only gotten one and that a C. I'm not sure how I feel about that, I hate getting anything less than an A really. (so I'm working on getting that C up a bit :)

London has been so good lately because its been 50 degrees for the past 2 weeks! I'm not usually so ecstatic about this, but as long as it's not the 20degrees it has been for the past months, I'm satisfied. The days are still short, it gets dark by 4pm and the temp does go down to the 30's at night. So what I'm getting is this part of England has a short but extremely harsh winter. It snowed once (as opposed to never) and people were freaking out over like the 3 inches.

My sister from another mister is coming in 10 days for her spring break!! I'll pretty much be jumping off the walls until then, I'm having a very hard time just sitting still now. And we're meeting up w. another Mason'er who is here studying abroad. We have sooo much planned it's gonna be a jam packed week!

Anyways, right now I'm consuming my life with thinking about my future. And by future I mean tomorrow, because every day I wake up with a new intention. And alsoooooooo I'm trying to transfer back to Mason for my last year!! At the moment it's not looking good, but I'm working really hard on it.

When I talk to people out here I just cringe because I can hear the British accent coming out of my mouth without even asking me! and I've learned tons of new slang--

"He was looking well fit" - He's really cute/hot
"Swear down!" - I swear!
"Bruv" - Brother
"weather's nice innit??" - isn't it/aint it?
"thats mug" - It's bad
"Bum" - I think this is describing something as good
"fanny" -Thats a females place lol

I should do a weekly dictionary, UK edition lol
Since one of the girls I'm closest to is from Bermuda I've learned a tonn of Island words haha You can hear me on the regular saying moncha, shocka, yeahh buh, and all sorts or thingss. I went to a Carribean comedy show and there was one woman there who talked for 30 minutes and the only word i understood was "ting" I realllyy couldn't tell you anyting else shes said! hahaha

This will be a GREAT semester. Austin in a week. Spring Break/Greece 3 weeks after that. and 5 weeks after that HOME to my friends, rk, family, beach and MacArthur.

OH and thanks to Chris Brown- everyone thinks I come from a state of women beaters.
