general geekery and alcoholism

Well, this was a late video. My reading is piling up, so I've had less and less time to edit and sort. Sorry! Not that anyone really cares. You know what really surprised me is that in 70% of the videos I had to edit, someone is always surprised that I am filming. "Oh you're taking a video?!" and "I thought this was a picture" are some of my favorite phrases.

The opening bit of this video is from a walk going home from wine night. The walk is supposed to be 30 minutes long tops. We took an hour and a half to get home. I stumbled into my apartment around 4 AM and got up at 7:30 AM to get on the bus to Cardiff. Nothing was going to keep me from seeing replicas upon replicas of David Tennant's Doctor Who suit. And I even saw the real deal. So many feels. Cardiff was pleasantly sunny and bright and warm contrary to what we were all expecting. It was a nice day trip even if we all ended up bumming it at a pub for the better part of 4 hours.

So, everyday stuff: School is so strange. I don't think I'm overly stupid, but attending school here definitely makes me feel that way. At home, no one is so engaged in seminar (discussion). Here, the class sizes for seminars are 10 people tops and pretty much everyone wants to comment on the philosophies of Marshall McLuhan. What. I have a psych presentation coming up, and I thought it'd be pretty straight forward. My group members are so much better prepared and have it all together. I don't even understand. But altogether, I still really love it here so much so that I actually googled how I can gain UK citizenship. Apparently, I'd either have to go to school here for longer or marry someone. Balls.

Then again, every time I need groceries or if I just need to spend money in general, I want to cry because everything is so much cheaper at home. Why is everything so cheap in the US? Is it because all our stuff is made by sweatshop children in different countries who have no workers' rights? I don't know. It's 3 AM, and I can't read anymore pdfs.

I need to get on top of my stuff. sigh.
