Via, Via, Neanche Questo Tempo Grigio Pieno di Musiche e di Uomini Che ti Son Piaciuti

Hi everyone! It's definitely been awhile since I've been on here, and I'm sorry about that. The reason for it is that I haven't had very many exciting adventures lately.

Basically, I went home to SoCal for about a week, and it was an incredibly busy week. I flew out on Christmas day, which was nice, since everyone was in a pretty good mood, and then went over to my aunt's to celebrate with some of my family. I spent the rest of the week shopping with my mom, hanging out with friends that I hadn't seen in far too long (like Radioactive Cheesecake! ^_^), and putting up with jet-lag. It felt really weird to be back in SoCal. It was weird to see the sun again and to drive on the "right" side of the road. And I'm sure the jet-lag wasn't a big help. Anyway, I flew out on New Year's Day and arrived back in Oxford on the 2nd of a brand new year! Unfortunately, the mountains of snow had all melted away by the time I came back, so Oxford wasn't as postcard-y, and fortunately, the mountains of snow had all melted away by the time I came back, making it A LOT easier to navigate Pusey Lane and the stairs leading to our house.

As mentioned earlier, I'm sorry to report that I haven't had many blog-worthy or epic adventures to tell you all. My days have basically been consisting of reading, eating, sleeping and rowing. The picture below essentially summarizes what I've been up to lately:


Kate and I Dying in the JCR After Working All Day

Hopefully, I'll be able to have a better grasp on my work-load this term, so that way I can actually plan on attending more fun social events (like the Start of Term Shindig we had this past weekend) and attend unplanned events (like our "BALTS: Bacon Avocado Lettuce and Tomato Sandwiches" Night we also had this past weekend). I was on a good schedule last week, which was First Week of Hilary Term by the way, but I'm beginning to get a little behind this week. I've heard that Hilary Term is supposed to be the most depressing term of the year, what with the rather bleak weather and things like that, but so far things don't seem to be too bad...yet...

Well, I had better get all caught up with my work, so until the next time I have an adventure to write about...

Cheers!

P.S. I've used up all of my available space on my flickr account, so I'm working on getting a Picasa account so I can finish uploading pictures from the Reading Party and my adventures through Tewkesbury with Jonny. I'll be sure to let you guys know when I've actually done that. =D
