Hey everyone!
I have more words to add to the list. A "twitcher," apparently, is a nickname for bird watcher. Yeah. And a solicitor is a lawyer. There are two types of lawyers here, solicitors or barristers.
This weekend was pretty good. Turns out that getting drunk doesn't necessarily mean that I will be mean and tired. That's pretty cool, because drinking is a huge part of the culture here. British kids start drinking at like 14, which I think is a little earlier than most US kids (although I could be mistaken I guess). The legal age is 18, which is the age of university students, generally, so the campus has no qualms about selling alcohol everywhere. There is a Union pub, and a bar I think, and they sell all kinds of stuff at the little grocery store type thing on campus. Even at school events, there is a bartender. Often more than one actually. So I am quickly learning that alcohol is only as big a deal as you make it, provided you are careful.
More good news: Jersey Shore is much loved around here. The only person I have met who didn't like it was the other American girl, Kaylee. By the way, I learned how to spell Aoibhinn's name finally.
A-o-i-b-h-i-n-n. Naimh's name wasn't as tough to learn.
Yesterday was nice because after everyone woke up, we all went to go get lunch. After lunch, we went and sat out by the lake on campus. This lake is very nice; it's pretty in a different way than lake Merced. And it's closer. I would've liked to say that they haven't found a body in this one, but I think they actually did at some point...
Anyway, being out by the lake was cool, we just sat and talked and made dumb jokes and stuff. Good fun, good fun.
I guess it may get tiring to read about all the little things that happen around here, but when something big happens I'll let you know!
Every other post had already been commented on so I guess I'll go with this one. How are you miss? Everything sounds so much better there, I wish I could be there. Anywhere but here for sure. Major issues here, I think it's just knowing this place too well. There are so many things I've done here it's difficult to find something new and exciting to do. Things out there sound wonderful: simple, but in the fullest. We all miss you here, heck, I miss you here. Not much is going on, so you aren't missing anything important. :) Anyway, I know I've not said much previously, or anything at all on here. I thought much more was required to simply comment on these, but I guess I was wrong. Don't forget you're missed, and loved.

Aww thanks Twin! Things are pretty cool here, I think you'd like it. I know what you mean about knowing the place too well. Leaving ended up being really good for me, I highly recommend it. Just keep taking things one step at a time, and be as patient as you can. No one has all the answers. I miss you too, and I have every confidence that you will figure out something new and exciting in no time. You are missed and loved as well!
