home

its been nice to be home. i've been slowly getting back in to the grind of school work. yesterday i spent the afternoon and evening outlining constitutional law (which is actually quite fun). i stayed up late listening to music, outlining, and periodically skyping joel to see if he had put together his zombie costume yet.

even though i was up till 2am, it was really 1am because of the time change...go time change!

i have also been visiting with my roommates which has been great since we've all been doing different things this week. vanessa and her boyfriend angel (who was visiting this week) went to madrid for a few days and then came back to london to explore the city. corey and i played a card game with them last night.

corey stayed home all week and went to work the first three days. he works at a law firm, cleary gottlieb, and is in the middle of a big project. the other days he stayed home and studied...what a studious roommate!

ben and maureen (ben's girlfriend who is also visiting from the states) went to poland to visit with maureen's family and then went to florence for three days. i guess they loved the place and did not get run over by mopeds (those are about the only things i remember from that city). we hung out with them a bit last night.

both angel and maureen left today so i didnt see much of ben or vanessa for a good part of the day. that was fine with me because it meant less distraction and more study time. i'm starting to feel good about the progress i've made on outlining. i think tonight ben and i will see ratatouille at the local theater (i'm having to promise him its an exceptionally good movie...he's still very skeptical).

right now i am sitting at my desk, typing away on my macbook (which is not shutting down for once!), and listening to the rain drip off the eaves outside my window. tomorrow i go back to work after a week off...vacation, its been nice knowin ya. see you in 7 weeks!
