Next year, when I am done with my schooling here, I plan to move overseas and attend an American University in Europe. I have found a website with some links to the websites of some American Universities. Since I am pretty new to all of this, I was wondering if anyone would be available to check these out and offer advice to me about anything to do with moving and studying in Europe.
Thanks!

Moved
I have spent all week moving into my place, hence the reason no one has really heard from me.
I'm tired, very tired.
I was only able to do my moving at night because I've been working. On top of that, I've been having class that starts at 9 am.
Blah...
But I'm moved in, and I'm loving it. I love the atmosphere and it really makes a difference in my overall happiness. Leeloo's happy; she runs around the house and makes the roommates fall in love with her all day.
Life is good right now.
Come have breakfast with me, there are so many places near me now!

Here
Though only surving with four hours of sleep, Tony and I have made it to New York City. We arrived at the JFK airport at 10 am Eastern time and took the subway to Manhattan, which was an hour long trip. We're staying in Harlem with one of his uncle's friends; the place is small and cozy and it feels weird walking around the neighborhood. I guess you could say I'm not used to being a minority.
So far all we've done today is gone to the grocery store. We went to this little Spanish grocery store where they were playing loud and danceable music which made me want to dance throughout the whole store. It was interesting checking out; the cashier, who was probably a year or two younger, was messing around with a cell phone and talking to a girl who looked to be her younger sister while not even paying attention to Tony and I.
It's weird. I feel like I'm in another country almost. But no, just another part of the US.

"Thanks"
Nice, just when I'm about to fly out to New York City, terroists decide they want to start blowing up planes again.
So now the airlines want you there a couple hours ahead of time. My flight is at 6:40 am....

New York City
Have I told anyone this?
I'm going to New York City next week. Tony and I had been wanting to take a trip since the end of the school year, and now we finally are. We're leaving at 6:40 am Wednesday morning, I talked my hobbit boy into taking us to the airport that early. : ) Tony's uncle knows someone who lives in Manhattan, so we have a place to stay. We're just going to walk around the city and just enjoy not having to work and just being able to hang out and relax. I'm really looking forward to it, it'll be nice to go to New York City with a friend and not family for once. I'll do all the things that I want to do.
We're coming back Sunday in the evening, and then I will begin school and start moving.
God, I'm fucking broke.
Also...I have updated my videos. I have some videos of Semisonic (don't even mock me, I loved them when I was in the 6th grade and so it was quite enjoyable to see them for free this summer at the Aquatenniel Block Party!) , B Girl B Revue (I will someday dance like these girls, seriously), and the Aquatenniel Fireworks finale.
And...some more pictures!

My Place
So I've found a place; it's at 24th and Harriet. Nice big duplex with four bedrooms on the upper floor and two cool roommates below.
Tony will be one of my roommates. This is something I wanted to stay away from, but we both REALLY liked the place. We've discussed the issues, we're hoping we can handle it.

School : (
School is starting back up again. As always in the latter months of summer, I start to feel the itch to go back and begin again. I must admit, I do enjoy school and knowing that I'm accomplishing something. It's just a matter of trying to keep that feeling the whole semester through.
For the past year, I've been taking it easy and have been going to school part-time. I hated my first year when I had to really watch what I spent and was asking my parents for money. Though I don't look forward to doing that again, I really feel the need to get this community college done with. I'd like to be done within the next year and I would like to be on my way to London in the fall. I need to do some more research...
I'm taking 12 credits this semester. I'll be taking a soccer class to get rid of my physical education credit, which should be quite enjoyable. For the first time in a few years I'll be taking a math class. I'm definitely dreading it.
Hello school, bye-bye Brian...?

Hobbit Talk
I know, it's been awhile. But, my roommates computer has been down and so I've been without internet.
For the latest news, I've met a guy. It's been quite the week I must say. His name is Brian, he works electronics at Target. He used to be a great soccer player in high school, and then tore his ACL. And as my friend Rachel says, "Soccer players are sexy." Heehee... Another good thing about him, he's hobbit-sized; he's only 5'6.
We've been hanging out pretty much non-stop for the past week; just getting to know each other. I keep asking myself why I like him and thinking about why he likes me. He's just not the sort I usually go for, and I would think the same of him for me. But yet I found myself crushing on him at Target, and then he was the one to ask me to hang out. We've had a lot of fun together, though I'm curious to see where it'll go. We talked about things yesterday and both of us aren't really interested in an actual relationship; both for various personal reasons. But yet, we're still dating.
Things are so weird. But in a good way.

Stealth
"He attacks from the back," Kettman said. "You never see it coming. He has six toes on every foot, which constitutes a very formidable weapon."
When the subject includes "stealth" and a "cat", it's just too funny.
I read this awhile back, but I still find it funny. Just imagine the scenario...

My First Time
For the first time in my life, a bird shit on me yesterday while I was eating outside at Barbettes. I was sitting with Tony when suddenly I felt something hit my shoulder and I looked over in horror and saw that it was bird shit. I just imagined that it was running down my back and shirt. I began to slap at Tony's arm frantically and told him, "Tony, a bird just shit on me!"
Fortunately, I had been wearing a shirt with a very open neckline and even though it hit me on the shoulder, it only hit skin and not the shirt.

What is Wrong with People?
Seriously, since when is protesting a funeral a good thing? Oh, let's do it for the Lord and alright, it's good.
Everyone needs to see this. Even if you do not agree with homosexuality, I don't understand how you can feel that this is justified in any way.

"Get Yo' Ass Outta da Street!"
First off: I hate people.
I was biking to work yesterday and I'm on the street, not the sidewalk, as I always am.
OK PEOPLE...it IS legal for a biker to be on the street AND it's more dangerous on the sidewalk because cars don't look at the sidewalk for bikers; I know this as I have almost gotten hit SO many times by being on the sidewalk. Also, pedestrians are annoying if you come up behind them and besides, they hate having us on the sidewalks too.
Anyway...I'm biking on the street, staying on the far right side like a good biker. I'm really in no one's way. A blue SUV passes me and the passenger (ok...the fucking passenger!) yells out the window, "Get yo' ass outta the street!"
I flipped her off and told her to "shut the fuck up!" God, I wanted to catch up with her so bad and tell her that at least my fat ass isn't being driven around all day and at least I'm not contributing to the death of the Earth.
God people, fuck you.

Just Because I Thought it was Funny
The other night, a man (probably in mid-40's) who goes by the name "Captain Tony" came over to the house to visit. Emily has been friends with him for five years; he lives in Dinky Town with his dog, Fifty. I guess you can't really call him homeless, but he doesn't really have a home. I'm wanting to think that he lives in a camper? Anyways, so he just came back from Wisconsin (where he was working with his brother) and is back to live in Dinky Town, but it turns out that he hadn't "set up camp" yet. It's around midnight and I'm in my room doing homework, when I walk out and find out that Emily has invited him to stay the night. Immediately I just feel really anxious. It's not that I don't trust the guy exactly; I've met him before and he's always been really nice, but he just drinks all the time and it seems like someone in his position who doesn't have a lot might make some rash and bad decisions. To make it worse, I then find out that Emily was going to stay at Matt's place so I was to be alone with the "Captain" in my house. Uhhh...he's a grown man and I'm just a petite girl. Get why I was nervous?
Luckily, I had an escape route: Joe's place. I got to his place a little before one and we watched some Family Guy and a couple other shows that weren't too impressive, namely the MTV2 one with the puppets. As Joe headed to bed, I curled up on the couch with Coonie. In the morning I woke up to find all three of Joe's roommate's cats staring at me with wide, hungry eyes; one on the table, one on a chair, and the other on the floor. As I walked into the kitchen to eat Joe's beloved cereal, they followed me and begged me for food, but as I could not find it, I made my apologies and ate in front of them.
Thank you Joe!
