Since some of the readers were wondering what a Modest Hyperbole is, it is quite simply just a funny oxymoron I came up with in my head. Maybe it parallels my life, who knows.
As I mentioned to a friend I messaged on Facebook, my stay here seems really long and timeless. It doesn't feel like a long time, yet it's hard to imagine my friends at college have already been back for half a month, seems like it was yesterday they were here. At the same time, however, August into September has seemed, I guess the only way to put it is "timeless" and epic because I've done and seen so much, covered so many days, and even now covered the change between the seasons.
Thursday, I am going back to The Hilltop to tie up some loose strings. That could be both good and bad depending on what happens. I'll let you know when it does.
Luckily my mom bitched me out to pack last week, and sure enough it worked! Now I have very little to do and surprisingly, I will fit into 2 checked pieces, 1 carry-on, and a backpack for my laptop. I expect at the end of the year to accumulate so much crap and not to pack as well as i did going over, that I will need another checked bag when I return at the end of LSE. We'll see. Right now, I am reading, watching movies, surfing the net, going back to Swift Potomac's Lovely daughter and then off off and away.
PS- if anyone has suggestions what to do about voltage converters/plug adapters and UK cell phone providers, do let me know.

ouch, man, did you just call your mom a bitch?
suggestion about power converters: get one now. They're more expensive over there. If you're using a cell phone over there, then when you buy the phone it ought to come with a charger that works in England.
suggestion about packing: get a soft luggage bag that you can fold and lie flat against the inside of one of your checked bags. If you have way too much extra crap at the end of the year, you can put this thing in a box and mail it home (or check it on a plane).
