I do quite believe that everyone has forgotten about this blog, but I really have no room to talk. I’m just going to keep it going for a bit. In any case, I am finally back in the United States – I left London thinking that it would be pretty easy to get back into the swing of things, but it has been a bit more surreal than I was prepared for. Nice, but surreal. First of all, it is weird being around Americans again. I just feel so dorky. Also, extremely out of place after being in London. I had forgotten about the American “bro” phenomenon, but remembered it when I ran into one and we both mutually decided to hate eachother for no reason. I did not miss this. I also miss the tube/metro a lot more than I had anticipated – it really is sort of a pain in the ass to have to get in a car to do anything, not to mention that while I am in D.C. drinking is out since I live too far for a taxi to be worth anything and I would have to drive. One of the other reasons I moved out of this area for college, but that is another subject entirely.
I got back yesterday. One of my cats developed an extremely bad limp over night and I woke up in the morning to find him completely pitiful. Being that it is Sunday today, we can’t do anything about it and it doesn’t seem to warrant an E.R. visit since he is basically behaving exactly the same except in a much gimpier, pathetic fashion – well, he is also cuddling with me, which is something he has never really done before. In all honesty, he is more of my sister’s cat than mine. But I like him so I’ll keep him around.
I’m on my Mom’s laptop – I feel bad admitting this, but what a pain in the ass not having my own! We are going to best buy to get another one tomorrow, luckily. I really did want a mac, but the cheapest deal I could get would be around 1200 dollars – not too terrible, all things considered, for a good laptop but unfortunately I cannot afford that price (or…any price) on my own and my parents are helping me out, and, understandably, they can’t afford that much right now so I am going to go for a cheaper, but still good, HP. I’m pretty excited about it, though, it looks pretty sleek and has a lot of things that I wanted the MAC for (except for Linux, which I am completely in love with). What this all means for the complete lack of anyone that reads this is that I will be able to finally post some pictures from Spain! Which I am excited for.
Anyway, I’m going to go exercise at 7 am tomorrow, so I am off to bed at 11 pm. It is going to be embarrassing. I am going to look like an idiot. Fuck it, I’ll never see these people again once I go to Georgia so I may as well get in some sort of shape before I embarrass myself in the UGA gym. Oh hell.
