Sleeeeep

My sleeping habits are destroyed. Tonight marks the 3rd night in a row I've been up until 3:30AM. I haven't even been doing anything. I've been watching videos and stuff. Why am I up?

I'm not doing much this weekend. A walk on Saturday and maybe some football on Sunday. Other than that, some work hopefully and that's about it. I REALLY miss my bed at home. That's the one thing I am homesick about. I want to stay in England for a very long time, but I want to sleep in MY bed. Or any bed that is firmer than the bed I'm sleeping in.

It's funny. Most people who went abroad, it seems, made a lot of friends from that country. I think. But I have only one good British friend here (George is from Jersey, not England). It's just really weird to think when I come back here I won't see the people with whom I've grown close. Hell, in a few months, we'll be in 4 different continents. It's kinda ridiculous. Leaving is going to be really hard.

I still have a lot of things to do here. Next weekend I'm seeing Cambridge, the weekend after is ROMA, the weekend after will be Thanksgiving and then maybe Wales or something, and hopefully the next weekend will be Paris. After that, a few days in London, and then back home to the real world. Hell, I feel the real world hitting me now with all these applications I'm trying to complete. Blah. Blah blah blah. I'm 22 years old and I don't want to be grown up. Not yet. I'm too much of a kid to be grown up.

Maybe that's why I'm continuing in school. It seems like the real world starts when school ends. Hell, I won't be in the real world for years then. That's okay.

I need to find a job for when I get back, just for a few months. I would love to work at somewhere like Disc Replay, but they probably won't be hiring. It'll end up being somewhere dumb, and I'll be bored at work until I can go to grad school. Ahhhhh

I've been sitting with my headphones on for about an hour since I finished my show. Nothing has been playing. Wat.

I'm running out of money. Someone win the lotto for me. I just want to see a million more places before I leave; is that too much to ask? Well, it is kinda impossible, with time and whatnot, but come on.

Seriously though, I cannot wait until I can say goodbye to this wretched bed. It's terrible! I sleep well, but I wake up feeling like garbage. Also, the wifi here is terrible. It's weird, you have to pay for everything here because the tuition is pretty cheap. Which is actually really okay with me. My financial aid would cover the crap outta going here on this tuition.

I kinda want to go here for grad school. Only because there are so many things to do here, and so little time. So many clubs and societies and events and DJ Fresh which I missed tickets for and other things. But I will probably want to work in the US, so I've been told I need to grad school in the US, which is fine with me as long as it's not in Illinois. It'll suck being away from family and friends and girlfriend, but it'll be so much better because it'll be a new place to explore and have fun. This is the longest, by far, that I have been out of the Chicago suburbs, and I like it. Chicago will always have a place in my heart, but I think it's nigh time to move on to better things. But I need to do my GOSH DARN APPLICATIONS before I can do that. But, being 3:37AM, I am going to sleep. Then tomorrow I will do application stuff, and shop, because I needs me some food from Tesco.

I've actually been eating okay. Too much meat, but I do have a bag of corn, that counts, right? I did eat some too. I almost bought Ratatouille, holy crap I spelled that right the first time???, but I realized even if I felt adventurous I wouldn't eat it. I still have a crappy looking pizza with probably vast amounts of freezer burn in the freezer. Let's actually get rid of that tomorrow. Yorkshire puddings are the best. So good.

This post has been my tired, uncomfortable, sad, introspective thoughts for this evening. Thank you for being a medium in which I can vent properly.

K night
