In the Land of U2

It's been over three weeks since I last updated here, and boy have things changed in that time!

Goodbye London and Hello Amsterdam. It's night two of U2's stand at the Amsterdam ArenA and I'm burning up in the Dutch sun in the queue of thousands that has been waiting outside the stadium since last night.


The band's first gig last night was a solid show, but I'm moving from the balcony to the football pitch for what will likely be a much more energetic experience--20,000+ were waving and jumping together last night in the standing areas, and I don't want to miss out on that Amsterdam atmosphere tonight!

My digital camera broke a few months ago and I haven't replaced it...no pictures for a while :(

Happy Summer! Boy I can't wait to hop in the car and drive around New England with the windows down and jump in random lakes...ahhh....

Running Out of Time

I've only got a few weeks left here in London before I hit the road following U2 around until the beginning of August. In a year dominated by changing scenary and drastically different living situations London has been a period of relative stability. I'm working 10-6, finding time to excercise, cook, travel, and (most importantly) stay rested enough to rinse and repeat for over two months now!

This past Wednesday was course registration for classes this fall. I only had two evenings (of 60 minutes each using the free Pret-a-Manger WiFi!) to piece together my schedule, but I'm so pleased that I pulled everything together and was able to get into the five courses I was most interested in. Looks like a history/IR/english semester ahead. And even better, no classes until 10:30am and Fridays free; it's hard to complain about 5 months of long weekends!

Planning on taking this weekend light, although the all-day festivities on Oxford Street tomorrow might draw me outside for an afternoon/evening (+ late night) of food, drink, and dancing. It's nearly impossible to resist sometimes.

Off to forge through the last two hours of work!
