On the Road Again...
I'm going to Stef's today in Darington...I'll be home on the weekend!

PICTURES OF ME!!!
Kate just showed me how to set up a Yahoo! photos page so you can all see *some* of what I've been up to since January! Just click HERE and you'll get to see my crazy antics! I love you all very much and can't wait to party when I get home!

Rainy Days and Mondays
It is finally a gloomy day here...typical of what everyone says English weather is like. I don't mind it one bit though. As my friend Phil says, "It washes the cobwebs away." Kate and I stayed in and watched movies last night. We watched Legends of the Fall...which I HATE because it just follows the downfall of a family and Brad Pitt playes a complete jerk.
Stef called me last night to see if I still wanted to come visit her in Darington...I'll be on a train on Wednesday to go visit her. We might even make a trip up to Newcastle. Stef if awesome...I really wish she went to Kentucky because she'd be great fun to have around. She's one of my best friends here...we can be stupid and goofy together, or completely serious. Either way, I love her company. I can't wait to spend some time with her. It's less than a month now that I'll be going to Italy and then coming home.
I think the thing that scares me the most is that I'll go back to Lexington and forget about all this as I slip into my old routine. I've really grown as a person here, and I'm hoping to get a fresh start in Lex when I get home. There are so many things I want to do when I get home. I do feel like a different girl than I was that cold day in January when I got on a plane to come here. I just don't want to digress from the person I've become.

HE IS RISEN...time to eat chocolate!
Kate and I went to Mass this morning...beautiful white and yellow Easter flowers filled the church. I LOVE EASTER! Possibly even more than Christmas. Plus, Lent is over and I can have chocolate now.
And now for something completely different!
Kate and I have gotten a philosophy going on English kids and why they are so frigging ugly. Actually, our friend Laura came up with this and we've just been laughing about it when we see prime examples. Inbreeding can cause devastation amongst an isolated little island of people. Such as England. We believe, through much research and observation, that some English kids look so messed up because the gene pool here is very, um, shall we say stagnant? They just look weird. You really have to see some of this to believe it. This family lives in town and we pass their house on our way to the train station every weekend. Their names are (L to R) Bill, Bill, Bill, and Bill Sr. I don't know about you, but they scare the bejezus out of me. Kate has been dating Bill for a few weeks now. We're still not sure which one he is.
I've actually found romance here as well. My guy likes to call himself Tits. He's a total hottie, and I'm going to be so sad when we have to break up when I go home. It would never work out anyway though, since we're not RELATED.
England has a pretty good music scene. This guy performed at our University a few weeks ago and received rave reviews and a ticket out of town. I'm pretty sure he's inbred as well...you be the judge.
Anyway, enough about inbreeding. I see it so much that I'm immune to it now...Cousin Billy Bob Ted WATCH OUT! I'm comin' fer ya whens I git home! Hahahahahaahhaahahahahahahaahha. Ha. Ha......ha. *snort*
