happy happy happy

1. tonight i'm going to finally start reading Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence! i confess to not having read a novel in TWO MONTHS. i am surprised that i have still retained command over the English Language. at the same time, i'm wondering what kind of English concentrator i must be to be able to ignore books for the better part of a summer holiday. that is like going through a bitter winter without ever once drinking hot chocolate.

2. totally over last week's mopey phase and realize in hindsight that it was partly hormonal. my apologies for being a little pessimistic lately! i am now genuinely happy about study abroad, and excited about going off to England...i.e. land of sandwiches, scones, H&M and Topshop, afternoon tea, mild winters (thank youuu), history, antiquated and highly idiosyncratic traditions, and Colin Firth. sighh i just wish term would hurry up and start already!!

3. all you need is love, really.

i really should post the homestay photos on here sometime...
