hello again

ok.

recently, my flatmates and i held a 'house party' in our...house. and we invited a lot of people over to party, and quite a few people came! it was nice cuz people hung out and talked in the kitchen, the living room and on the back porch (mainly for the smokers). the only thing that was really missing-besides the disco ball, smoke machine, and live dj-were speakers!! though we turned the music up all the way on a computer, still didnt quite do the trick. anyhoo, it was a good time with music and chattin it up among friends.

the weather has been slowly changing over to spring weather. most days, recently, it has been on and off with clouds, rain, and sunshine. but, the MOST EXCITING news is that i bought new running shoes and can now run shin splint free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you cant imagine my joy and happiness about getting back out on the road and running around!!

aaaaaaaand, only 3-ish more weeks till the fam comes!!!!!!! woot woot! cant wait.

and, to clarify some questions: i dont know when im going to be home! it is too early to tell as of now, but im trying to figure out if i can get all my U.K. research done then finish up the rest at home.......BUUUUUUUUUUUUT we'll see.
