This post serves several purposes, one of which being procrastination from my U.S Diplomatic history exam. I know I've been absent from my blog for quite some time, but I've had quite a bit to do! Midterms, Thanksgiving, concerts, etc. It was fantastic! Oh! And of course, the release of Twilight, which was done very well, in my opinion!
First, I went to a fantastic concert with my two new friends at the 9:30 club in DC. We saw Sondre Lerche, this fantastic singer/songwriter. This is one of his new songs--it's not even on an album yet!
Thanksgiving was amazing, as usual. My aunt outdoes herself with the food every year, and this year was no exception. I got to see all but one of my cousins (that are around my age) and it was fantastic to see everyone. My family is hilarious and I love spending time with them. Then we get to December!
My visa application has been turned in, my tickets have been bought, and as of yesterday I know what college I'll be studying with! Hertford college (pronounced: Hartford. Good to know!) They have a college cat named Simpkins, which I find hilariously awesome. According to Wikipedia, the college is in the middle of medieval Oxford and was founded (as Hart Hall) in the late 13th century and was home to John Donne, Thomas Hobbes, and Evelyn Waugh. They also have a Bridge of Sighs, that supposedly looked like the Venician bridge of the same name (except it doesn't). It's beautiful, the chorus is fantastic, and I can't wait to go!
