I finally have my class ring!! It's so fucking amazing to finally have it, it feels like my hand has been missing a giant black onyx ring for the last 2 1/2 years. Ring Night/Thanksgiving was pretty good, food and dinner company were pretty fantastic. Had lots of dancing afterward with our British (and Italian) boyos. A few people came back to our house after to hang out. It's nice actually having people outside the program that I'm comfortably friendly with now. Richard didn't stay very long as he had a paper due that he hadn't started, but Ben actually ended up hanging out with us til 5am, when the three of us left in the living room decided it was time to actually go to bed.
All in all, I think it was a better Thanksgiving than every uncomfortable and tense family dinner I've ever had to sit through, even if the food wasn't quite as good. At least I didn't have to be on anything to make it a good time.
I'll definitly be posting a picture as soon as people start uploading things onto facebook.

Living in England is fantastic. I love it here, the weather is great, the city is a lot of fun.
Only setback is, I CAN'T FIND ANY FRIENDS. I have the girls in my program, but I live with them, I've known them for 2 years, I want British friends. We're throwing a massive Halloween bash, and I don't have anybody to invite. I don't know what it is, but I just don't seem to connect with anybody here for more than a half hour.
What's the point of studying abroad if the only people I can hang out with are American? I want a boy while I'm here, to at least balance out the lonely, but how am I gonna find one if no one even remembers my name when I'm gone?

I think I got the job ^_^.
The interview ended up going swimmingly, the dude hiring was an adorable hippy/activist dude. Very adorable... I'm goin back in on monday for an observation day which is basically just a training day, and I guess if that goes well then I'm hired. I make 38% of however much money I bring in to support our campaign for the new sustainable enegery bill in NY (which is a good chunk of change, considerably more than minimum wage if I bring in the minimum expected).
In other news, sex is awesome, and possibly one of the best parts of being back in NY.

After being on the of simply giving up the last few day, I got a call this morning from an activist group where I had applied for a community outreach job. And, and, and THEY WANT TO INTERVIEW ME!! XD
OMFG If I can get this job, then I can afford to crash in an apartment with Jason, or Dave, or Dave's friends, or anywhere I fucking have the oppurtunity!!!!!
*GLEE*
Here's to hope, and optimism, fucking NYPIRG, and the chance at a good summer filled with fulfilling work and lots and lots of sex
*runs off to harrass all her boys into making plans move faster*

mmm, post - State of the Union frustration. i dont know why i keep bothering to watch the damn things, Bush never really says anything worth hearing.
the only thing it's good for these days is starting board threads, and giving us all more shit to make fun of.
other than that, does anyone know why professors all like to plan their massive assignments at the same time? at this point i have an art history book and accompanying documentary to get through for tomorrow, a take home stats test, a communications book, a book that so far manages to make even the Terror of the French Revolution seem dry, and a paper to do on that book.
basically i shouldnt be wasting my time on here anymore, but its just so much more interesting than statistics......

Finally getting around to filling out my profile and such. So I figured, "Hey, why not do a journal entry for once?"
The past couple weeks have been a trip. Back to school, and 5 classes that all want you to read an entire book in a week, roomies and hallmates. But whateves, its all great fun.
*runs off to find other ways of procrastinating*
