Sad

Hey
So end of term. Um, it doesn't feel like the end of term. End of term means STRESS, well for most people, me I just do paper after paper, and for fun a paper. But here in England, there is no stress. Everything is due after Christmas, well Baz had a 1,500 paper due today and as of last night he had 500 words done, so he might have had some stress. Cassie had some group projects due, but I had nothing.

I had my last Scriptwriting class yesterday, and Christopher Hampton came to talk to us. He wrote Dangerous Liaisons, The Quiet American, and almost did Schindler's List, but got left behind in the scramble of directors. He was really good, he talked about the theatre, his new projects, writing Dangerous Liaisons... it was awesome. I enjoyed listening to him.

Today was the end of Renaissance Drama and 19th Century. I just kinda left Renaissance Drama around noon, we didn't have seminar and the last hour of class was for 1 on 1 with Matt, and I'll e-mail Matt later when I have a better idea about my paper and my actual topic. So Megan and I went out to eat as a good bye. We went to Lloyds, and we just sat, talked and ate. It was fun, but omg I hate saying good bye. She isn't sure if she is coming to Farewell Drinks on Friday, so just in case this was good bye. It stinks because I've met all these cool kids from different parts of the US and now they are going back home. Um. I've met some cool people from England, but of course they aren't going anywhere.

19th Century was sad because I love Jane! Omg! She's so cool! She reminds me a lot of Jura my advisor in Maine. Jane is just awesome, she picked a lot of good novels to read, and I love how she gets so into them! She was cursing Thomas Hardy for the end of Tess of the D'Ordevilles, which of course is justified. She's really smart too, so I'm going to miss her and that class. At the end of seminar she thanked the Americans because we were very vocal and kept the discussion going. She said that maybe it was because we were braver than the British, because we always spoke out no matter if we had a idea completely formulated or not... um that wasn't me. Not at all.

I'm really glad I am here for the year, I am not ready to go home, and there is still so much I want to do. I also am not ready to say good bye to my flat mates but especially Amaya and Kathleen. I feel like I've known them forever, and not just 4 months. Baz and Martin have a special place in my heart too, haha, I love those two. Baz still gets me with his "alright?" because I still sometimes also respond, "yeah you alright?" and no that is the wrong answer. He's just saying hi. They are both leaving this weekend, and will miss their quiet presence around the flat. Will not miss their dirty dishes!

I can't believe this time tomorrow term is over for me... wow, where has it gone?

Oh P.S. Another fire alarm this morning, this time at 8:51am... 9 minutes before my alarm! We seriously have one every week... AH
