Heyyy, Homework...

I have hit a homework wall.  And so I am blogging again!

First thoughts:  should I cut my hair?
It is a very important decision.  I have been agonizing over this for the past hour (part of my homework denial scheme), and am torn between a funky new short haircut and keeping the length. It's finally getting long and looking nice, and I thought that my layers still had split ends but upon examination tonight, I've realized that they are actually healthy hair, it is just the longest layer that is split at the ends.  Here's what I have in mind for a haircut:

Or maybe this:

Or maybe something else.  Or maybe not short at all.

In other news, I'm excited for the holiday season.  Christmas parties!  Christmas party with my class...

MES students party it up (Team Afghanistan:  Winners!)

and then a party at home!

Like this but with Christmas sweaters!

And I am going to bake delicious things and drink egg nog and it'll be great!  Woot woot nog!

There is apparently going to be a Christmas Market in Galway this year, opening this Friday.  It should have spectacular foods and mulled wine and I have high expectations.  It's supposed to look something like this:

But I think that picture's from Germany as this based on the German ones and this is the first Galway Christmas Market.  But there better be lights and chalets and Christmassy costumes!

Random picture from Germany!  Oktoberfest!

With all that said (written...), I can't think of any more rambles, which means it's time for 703 précis number 10.  Boo.  But just 8 précis remain to be written before it is Christmastime!  Woot woot!

November: Month Number Nine

I don't usually take baths, but today I took a bubble bath and that was a good decision.  I've been obsessed with the idea of taking one for the past few weeks after seeing an episode of Friends where Monica convinces Chandler that baths are a good idea... She convinced me too.

Luckily mine did not end up like this

A month ago,  I tried (and kinda succeeded, but mostly failed) to get ahead of school before Chris arrived.  While Chris was here, we mostly just hung out, which could have been lame if that wasn't what we usually did anyways.  We did try to take a day trip.  And by try I mean we talked about it, looked at the car rental website, talked about it some more the next day, looked at the car rental site, talked about it again, and finally packed our shit and went into town to leave... without looking at the car rental website.  When we got to the agency, the dude was a dick and there were no cars, so we decided to take the bus back to my house.  Seeing that we had 20 minutes to kill, we went to get a pint:

Giant pint glass.  I am aware that that doesn't make sense.

35 minutes later, after missing the first bus, we went back to the bus stop, and saw that we had another 35 minutes to kill.  So we went to another pub and had another pint!  Then we took the bus home.  Good day trip.

As for school... Each of my classes had a midterm assignment, with two being 3000 word essays and the third a map project with a 1500 word discussion.  And each of them had their deadlines pushed back.  And I still turned them all in late.  The first just 15 minutes late, the second an hour and 15 minutes late, and the third 1 day 2 hours and 15 minutes late.  Very nice...

But now that all is done and I am back on track.  I go home in less than a month.  Back to America, where stuff is cheap!  I <3 the $!!!  Especially since I now have just 19 euros in my bank account.  Spectacular.  Or maybe it's... Spooktacular?!

My pumpkin!

 

Chris' pumpkin!

Galway AboOoOo!
