I only have to spend two more days away from my love. I can’t believe we’re going to be together again so soon. But I know these next two days are going to just drag on…and then I have to face the flight…the longest 8 hours of my life. But it will all be worth it when I walk out of customs and see him waiting there for me. It will be the biggest sigh of relief I’ve...
The Weekend of Riots
The last few days have been overshadowed by all the craziness going on in London, and it’s caused me to forget about writing. So I’ll go back to Saturday. Lauren and I decided to go marketing. We went to our old standby, Borough, to get some lunch. We didn’t realize that a lot of stalls aren’t allowed to cook on Saturdays. I’m still not sure why this is. But I still managed to get chicken masala...

A bunch of people joined us, and before I knew it I had consumed 4 Strongbows in an hour (on an empty stomach). Not to mention Ella’s generosity with her wine bottle on the walk to the tube station. We were...
Joe was a star yesterday.

Sean even got in on the action. 6 and a half prints later we got two that looked alright and then i was let loose on photoshop to make the rest of my pages. By the time I finished I...
Today was my last day working with Danny, and I was a lot sadder about it than I thought I would be. I think it’s going to feel really weird when I get home and realize I’ll never go back to work at shots and I might never see any of them ever again. I was really lucky with my placement. It may be boring some days, but they’re always happy to teach me and help me with whatever I...
Edinburgh
Going to Edinburgh was definitely the highlight of my summer in the UK. It made both London and Dublin seem ugly in comparison, what with all of its gothic features and steep hillsides. Everything was beautiful and more than anything I want to be able to go back there someday (with boyfriend in tow of course).
One thing I always manage to forget when I’m travelling is how much I hate tourist...
