Unsettled Settling In

It feels like I have been away for a while: probably because it has been 6 weeks. Things feel a bit up in the air and unstable right now and I'm still trying to get re-acclimated (hell, it feels like I have been away for something like a summer break and now I need to come back and do finals!!!)

There will be a more thorough post soon (maybe tomorrow if you are lucky!) But in the meantime I will borrow a line from Jess and say pictures say a thousand words. So here are some links to my facebook albums

In case they don't work, you can go to Jess's picture site, she has some stuff that I don't have. Also Picasa is awesome and I need to get on that

So hopefully this will hold you over. Until next time.

Let's...Go...TRIPPIN'!!!

Yes, I know I suck at updating the blog....hmmm worthwhile news. I finished Lovecraft (I have been called out as a nerd for doing so. See the self-deprecating things I go through in order to get you this blog?!?!) Then I began the "His Dark Materials" series by Philip Pullman (Golden Compass for those of you who that just drew a blank from). It's really good: even better and more gory. Childhood drunkenness and vomiting. Bears eating people's hearts. Heads getting crushed. Guillotines. How can the movie beat that? Seriously.

But the real reason why I post (and origin for the title of this entry) is because I begin my Eurotrip with my "travel companion", the illustrious Jessica Gitner, at 4AM tomorrow. We will fly to Salzburg, Austria then train to Wien, then Buda Pest, then down for a quick stopover at Zagreb, Croatia. Then transfer to a rental car in Rijeka, which I will drive (yes, I know how to drive stick) Then we will reach Rovinj on the Istrian Peninsula on the coast and drive to other various small town. Then our final day and overnight will be spent in Pula and we will fly out again...all at the end of two weeks. So wish me luck and see you on the flip-side!
