my time in england is winding down....

howard moon...jazz maverick. basically this is my desktop wallpaper at the moment. all my icons are in the right hand corner in a sort of pyramid style. its pretty brilliant. i thought you would all like an insight into my life...

ok so! as you all now i am finishing my time here in london, tear. but as everything comes to a close i get to celebrate and have fun! i officially ended my classes this past thursday, it was very anti-climatic. but it feels really good to be done with classes, now comes the hard part......

EXAMS... but thats another story for another day.

so i guess the real news is that after we finished our classes on friday, may 4th, we took (lack of a better word) booze cruise up and down the thames. it was brilliant. it was a four hour float up to hampton court palace and we turned around somewhere...maybe around teddington and then flipped around and went back past kingston and went up the river farther. it was so much fun! it was almost all the year longers and then a lot of spring semester students. right away we were not fans of the spring semester students, i mean we all felt a strong bit of seniority over them all...and just yeah. and a big bonus was that we were even fed dinner, you cant beat a good plate of fish n'chips! genius.

us floating by hampton court palace, for anyone that i have taken to hcp you will recognise this as the part that king william of orange had redone from the tudor style by sir christopher wren...and i am a loser. hey anybody watching the tudors on showtime or hbo??? its a goodn'!amaya and myself dancing to YMCA...could we be any cooler? the answer is of course no....you can not be.dancing with the advisors...jen, philip, and amayajen and i doing a brilliant dance move...dont be jealous, its not worth it. you cant recreate this sort of magic!

so anyways the boat trip was a huge success and it gave us a chance to say goodbye to some people and finally be on a boat on the thames cause for about 9 months now i have been totally jealous of everyone else who gets too....now i wont be jealous anymore cause i have done it too!!!!! good for me! anyways sorry this blog is kinda lame but oh well...its better than nothing right?

my next few weeks are gonna be filled with getting a paper written and studying like a fied for my exams before my mama gets here on the 24 may. anyways i hope everyone is enjoying spring!!!!!!!!!

(what a lame ending)
