Hectic two months since I last left a post. A few people have been wondering how life has been treating the kid. Well, life is going just fine. I am happy to say that someone up above still likes me and that while I am left wanting, it's a much better life than left needing.
And that's as much philosophical wax I'm going to melt tonight.
I got a job a two weeks ago working as the Assistant to the Director of Meadows and Passmore, a clock part manufacturing company in Portslade, Brighton (a 20 minute train ride from Flamer, Brighton where I am living on campus). It is a rather flexible job, I can come and go as I please (as long as I work fifteen hours-personal goal and the max an exchange student can work during term time- and I'm actually benefiting the company while I'm there!) and I make £6.50 an hour. Conversion = approx. $12.50. I just do all the things he is too busy to do, like designing envelopes for "No postage necessary" Royal Mail services, creating an organizational system for his files and clients, and calling a guy about his car.
Yeah. I know.
Classes are over, but I'm waiting for exams. And I've got the travel bug again (or some other gastrointestinal infestation...) so during the summer after making some good money, I'm going to either go to Spain (Ibiza) or back to Paris. Nah... I missed out on Amsterdam once, shouldn't do it again.
Here's what you really wanted... pictures:
Nice family fun for everyone... a Nude Beach

The backside of our lady (er... Notre Dame)
The res(idence) halls in Sussex Uni in the snow. I live in the flat ones on the right.

Sober as a judge
Um...
I'm officially coming home around the fifteenth of August. My play ends on the thirteenth and I'm going to come back down to Brighton from Edinburgh, Scotland to collect my things, spend one last night in my favourite city, and I'll peace out on the fifteenth. Once I actually purchase a ticket, I'll fill in all the specifics.
More later. Love as always and the mush mush.xx
