hey there everyone,

well this is it i've only got a week left abroad. this week i've been keeping busy as much as possible. nothing terribly exciting, just hanging out with friends, movie nights, going to pubs- typical english leisure activities. no pictures for you guys, sorry. yesterday i realized that one of the maybe six t-shirts i brought here has gone missing. my "built to spill" one, too. so if anyone has found it, please let me know. some things left on the agenda are: one last research paper, downloading lost, andrew bird concert, possible trip into london to see the changing of the guard (big furry hat people) and then a last stint of classes. im sure its all going to fly by. needless to say im pumped up to be back home with everyone and everything. i'd say i've had a good run over here. i think i got that whole abroad experience. has it made me a better more interesting person? well, thats for you to decide in the new poll! as for the last poll, the winning answer was wiffle ball and BBQ. so when i get back, lets get on that. i've got some library work to take care of so this will be a shorter entry. i guess ill put up an end-of-the-line-wrap-up entry sometime, tell everyone how great the concert was and how boring writing my research paper was. heck, i might even summarize the positive personality changes and new perspectives i've adopted. soooo, look forward to that entry! until then ill be enjoying my last 168 hours as an englishman.

can't wait to see you all again,
roy
