back in the states

I've been back in America for awhile now, but it's kind of overwhelming. I'm glad I went down to bumfuck, texas. It was relaxing. Just read, watched tv, went to the movies, and ate mexican food. It was fun to be with family and not to have to worry about anything. Now i just have to write my paper before I go back. 4,000 more words to go. I can do it.

I'm back in my hometown. It's funny, I keep my phone with me at all times in the uk but here, since so few people know i'm back, i don't care if it disappears or has no battery.

I highly recommend Enchanted if you haven't seen it and Alvin and the chipmunks. I only saw Alvin because my older sister wanted to, but it was surprisingly cute and not bad. It's actually terribly, painfully cute. Today I see Sweeny Todd, finally, and tomorrow is Juno. And this is what Christmas break is all about!

Countdown begins

I'll be home in only a few weeks. Woo hoo. I went back to A&E (ER here) on tuesday cause i just wasn't feeling right. I think i'm just psycho somatic and paranoid because I felt fine almost as soon as I got in there. They kept me overnight, this time in the Acute Stroke Unit and sent me home the next after noon (after threatening to keep me there another night--okay not threatening but telling me i might have to). I didn't sleep at all that night because they didn't move me to the ward until about 5:30 AM and then they wake everyone up super early in the hospital.

Damn. I don't want to do taht again.

But i'm almost home and almost to NYC to see some awesome friends! can't wait.
