Wow!

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted something! Nothing of note has really happened - I've been reading like crazy this weekend and don't see an end to that any time soon. Today I did take a little break from the studying - I went to campus and picked up a book I ordered over a month ago. I should have asked for a discount for taking so long. Great afterthoughts.

I'm beginning to doubt my ability to write at the level of everyone around me - even though most of them speak English as a second or third language. It is completely insane. Most of the time I find myself thinking about Poland and forgetting about finishing the work here. It is quite annoying when I do honestly want to just sit down and get my work done.

The library here really isn't conducive to work. It is this dark and dreary place that is just not somewhere I want to be - plus it is always remarkably hot in there - very good for sleeping. So basically there isn't anywhere I can go to do my work. I might start using the Law Library because it is less well known and shares the same building as my department. Perhaps I will try that tomorrow. This weekend though I was quite productive in my room. I hope that continues tonight.

Something very cool happened today! I got an email and a text from two different people I used to be friends with when I was in middle school! I received an email from this guy Carl Shepherd who I guess you could say was in my "group". I remember him really well because he and I used to be the two of the shortest people (there was one guy and one girl shorter than us) in class and we ALWAYS had to line up in height order. Oh well.. at least I'm not so short here now! But even more exciting, I received a text from Sandy. Ok so most of you don't know who she is, but she and I were really good friends when we were younger! Liz and Sandy's sister were good friends, too - I think they even still talk. But anyways, it was good to hear from her and hopefully we will get to hang out when I go back to Worthing.

I don't have any new pictures yet, unfortunately. What did you think about the last ones? Post a comment and let me know :) hehe! Perhaps I will find an interesting one to post just for fun! If you want to look at some really good ones, visit Nathan's website because he has loads! You can listen to his music, too. http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~ngordon

I said I would do something interesting I think but haven't yet, so perhaps I will have better luck this week! Would love to hear from everyone!
