haven't done this for a long while....

Hi all.
Sorry for being a lazy-ass and not posting or keeping in touch.
Since the move over, I have been extremely reluctant to email, call, post or text anyone at home...for fear of an increase in my HOMESICKNESS.
yes, I said it....
HOMESICKNESS.
i have been worse than all of the silly ASU freshman I have helped over the years.
I am unable to practice what I preach.  Surprise, surprise.

anyway, I'm thinking of applying for this job over the summer, what do you think?

i promise to keep in touch,

so much to blog about!

Holy Guacamole, Batman!

Here is a list of events I need to blog about:
1. Vegas and the massive amounts of food I ate!
2. One month until I see ALEX!
3. His Mum and Step Dad are coming to NEBRASKA! Woop!
4. Packing - My worst nightmare.

OK, I'm gonna go for now.  Is it weird that I would write a blog about all the blogs I wanna write?

Booking the Ticket

So..Alex and I are trying to coordinate purchasing tickets....this is a pain in the butt.
And I just realized...I MIGHT want to look at my visa endorsement on my Passport before I actually book my ticket!

I know now.

This is the first day of the rest of my life....
Well, Friday was.

I got an email from the UK Border Agency on Friday stating "Your UK Visa has been issued"....and that's ALL it said. I was confused! HAHA!  I had to read it twice to actually understand the information contained in it!  I thought to myself....6 months worth of information gathering, money saving, loan agreements, etc....and that's all I get in response!?  It's that simple??....At least the Border Agency could have said "Thanks for all of your hard work, we have reviewed your materials and you seem to be a great addition to our country. Welcome to the UK."....but no. I got a simple, 6 word email. HAHA!

I think I walked around Friday and Saturday with my head in the clouds. I worked all day at ASU on Friday, a double at Pita Jungle yesterday and didn't even have time to think about what's about to happen or how much I have to do. Today, I'm getting that feeling of "Holy shit. I have soooo much to do."
I have decided to start a video diary of this journey in my life. I have been journaling, blogging, facebooking, and taking pics....but it's time to step up my memory-capturing game....it's time for some videography!

So, Here you have it....Day 2 after knowing.

Today is when the countdown begins! Ninety days until school starts at the University of Leeds! I cannot wait to begin the next chapter of my life. xxx

Almost instantly I went from 'excited to see my dad' to...'Oh yeah, he's annoying as shit'...

the weirdest thing...

As I looked to my left at 'The Border Trilogy', a book which I have already once attempted to read, the pages seemed to be raising up and down, almost as if it was breathing. The dog-eared cover and tattered pages were rising and falling like the chest of a sleeping animal.  Perhaps my second attempt at this Cormac McCarthy compilation has summoned it back into being as its' words and characters breathe life into my own world.

Nonetheless, that was cool.
