I'm compiling a playlist of music..

that I've grown to like since being here. Most of them are songs that the clubs here are guaranteed to play...so I like them because I associate them with good times [I suppose]. Good catchy music you can dance to!

Cheryl Cole - Fight For This Love [not gonna lie, her outfit is a bit ridiculous but whatevs. It's a catchy song]

Beyonce - Sweet Dreams [yeah I don't even know... I blame Tom.]



...and I have no idea why Backstree Boy's "I Want It That Way" is tacked to the end of that video.

La Roux - In For the Kill



Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling [they will play this song at least twice]



Oprah freaking out in this video cracks me up everytime.

David Guetta ft Akon - Sexy Bitch [Oh god this song...it's so bad, and yet so good. It makes you want to dance, I GUESS?!]



and of course......

KINGS OF LEON - SEX ON FIRE [honestly I didn't realize how big this song was until I got here. I mean I heard it on the radio in the States, but THEY WILL PLAY THIS SONG AT EVERY SINGLE EVENT. NOT EVEN JOKING. ANYWHERE. YOU ARE GUARANTEED TO HEAR THIS SONG.]



I still love it. "Sex on Fire" is an awesome sing a long no matter where you are. Everyone gets excited when they hear those first few notes.

VIDEO DUMP

random videos since I've been here!

So in a few hours, my dormitory/accommodation/building or whatever will be having a Thanksgiving potluck! How exciting.

Thanksgiving dinner was amazing. Amazing food and amazing company. Nothing better.

wednesday/week 9

So here we are at week 9. I have about three weeks left here in Norwich. It's slowly dawning on me that my time here is limited and now I understand why all the past-EAP students urged us to do a year versus a semester. Just when I've fully adjusted to life here at UEA and made some awesome friends, it's almost time for me to go.

I've been aware of our limited time for awhile now, but I don't think it hit me until earlier tonight when Phil mentioned how Flat 3 wanted to go to LaserQuest because Rachael was also leaving and he said he wanted all of us to go so that he could say goodbye to me, Caitlin, and Bonnie. I guess all good things must come to an end, cheesy as that sounds.

Honestly, I'm so happy I decided to study abroad. Today, as I sat around in my seminar for New Media and Society I listened and realized how different it is going to be to go back to a school where people don't speak with British accents! I've strangely become accustomed to hearing them...although I will admit there are times when I don't understand what people are saying because they roll all their words and I just stupidly nod and smile. Haha!

As we're now in week 9, I really need to start getting down to business! But first, my last weekend adventure...I'm visiting Miranda this weekend in Paris! I'm so excited!

week 9?!?!

staying in hostels have made me appreciate my room, bed, and HOT showers so much more.

i will probably do a massive photo dump soon

the view from my room. taken last wednesday around 4pm i think.

ugh i can't stop listening to "FIGHT FOR THIS LOVE" by cheryl cole. england has made me a fan of trashy pop music.

waitng for vureel to load SUPERNATURAL

after megavideo cockblocked me and stopped me from finishing the third episode of the season! UGH. I'm only ten minutes away from being done! I need to know what happens next!

I just finished my 7th week here at UEA. Time is moving way too fast now and I'm starting to dread the end of the semester. I really should start taking more photos and videos to document my time here.

Sometimes I just CAN'T BE BOTHERED (a wonderfully English phrase that my friend Tom has introduced me and Caitlin too...and now we can't stop using it to annoy him) to whip out my camera though. I will try to do so (and to upload things) especially because I know I don't want to forget anything.

One thing I know I definitely won't forget is the amount of junk food I've been consuming since I've been here. Here's a list that I made of all the food that will contribute to my STUDY ABROAD 30!!
