I LOVE THIS

not many words, but with a lot of meaning.

Ahora, estoy en un parte de mi vida cuando tengo que decidir muchas decisiones importantes. No se que quiero hacer con mi vida. Pienso que voy a hacer tantas cosas como sea posible.

Buenas noches todos.

hola

Since I have been taking Spanish, I just want to speak and think and do everything in Spanish so I can improve. You can only improve by practice right?

Esta noche ví la obra "Todo sobre mi madre" para mi clase. Que deprimente! Pero tambien, la pelicula de Almodóvar es tan chistoso. Me gusta mucho.

movin' out

I spent the whole day moving today. I think I may have worn out every single muscle in my body, I can barely even type. I put on 'The Notebook' to fall asleep to. But I can't seem to be able to fall asleep.

My room is nice. Small, but homey. I'll post pictures soon.

Here are my favorite Post Secrets of the week:

Home

I'm home in Northern California right now. Just been hanging out with my Mom, since Dad is in China at the Beijing Olympics. We are heading down to San Francisco today to do some back to school shopping :) Which, of course, I am super excited about. I wasn't able to shop at all while I was abroad, since the dollar is worth SHIT in Europe. Then we'll stay the night down there, and pick up my Dad at the airport in the morning.

I have also just been hanging out with my close friends who are still around in town. There really is not much to do in this town though, let me tell you. I am just about ready to bounce back to Santa Barbara. I'm ready to see all my socal friends and my close girls :)

One Love <3

Cheers!

Last night in Brighton..... and I am sitting here alone, bored, and lonely :( My friends are all either not returning my calls or busy. This blows. 

My favorite PostSecret's of the week:

Guess I'll just continue to read my new book, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.

See you in good ol' America!

Cheers England,

Last week in England...

So, the time has finally come. It's my very last week in Brighton. I can't believe it has already been seven weeks since I arrived. I have had such an amazing time here...meeting amazing people and having equally fulfilling experiences.

I am sitting here being melancholic, listening to Carrie Underwood. Listening to country when I am a bit down makes me feel so much better for some reason. Sounds a bit silly...

I finished up my final paper today for American Cinema. I am a little worried though, because our syllabus says it needs to be 2500 words, while he said yesterday in class it had to be 1500 words. That is a pretty big difference. I wrote mine at 1500 words, but I think I might add a bit tonight and tomorrow after class. I decided to write my paper about the helpfulness of knowing about the historical and cultural tone of a time period when examining films made during that time. Specifically, I talk about the effect of World War Two on film noir and the Cold War on science fiction films in the 1940s and 50s. Sounds intriguing, huh?

I went on a trip to Paris this past weekend. It was AMAZING. I went by myself with a tour group, but ended up bonding with four other girls from the same program I am studying on (University of Sussex). The most amazing part was probably seeing the Eiffel Tower at night. It was lit up all blue with yellow stars in recognition of the European Union. 

Alright...I'm off to work on that paper. 

CHEERS xoxo
