This is a blog I started with the best of intentions to chronicle my adventures while studying abroad in Oxford and subsequent tour of Europe. I hope to one day touch it again one day to update it, but until then......

Time minus 7- Que Sera Sera

So you all might be wondering why i say 7 days when i leave next thursday; that is because today has already started and i dont ever count the day it is. (makes it seem closer than it is!)

My quotes for life now are Mais oui and Que sera sera....anything that will happen will happen to me... and of course right before a crucial trip or event....so yesterday i was in the union just minding my own business, had lunch and ready to go to class. i had left over water so i stuck it in my side pocket of my backpack, but as i was walking i took it out, now i dont remember if i took a drink or it is just that i hate bulky things in that pocket or whatever, long story short i put it in my purse. i go up to my advisor's office to drop off a scholarship. turns out that i was lacking a transcript to put with it and a pen to fill out the cover letter of the scholarship, so i go to my purse and guess what......drum roll please........my water bottle was not shut all the way and it emptied most of its contents into my purse, soaking my CAMERA, ZUNE, PHONE, LIT REVIEW, and other misc. things that are in my purse. so i empty my purse of everything and pour the pool of water out of my purse. i place everyhting in my backpack and turn my bag inside out. i dry off my things and check them to see if they are ok...everything SEEMS fine. but now my lit review is wet. for those of you who dont know what this is...this is my life the last two weeks consuming every little bit of my life, and it is wet and now i am late to the class that i was to hand it in. my adviser comes back in, tells me to sit at his computer and print a new one off after i had really given in to the fact that i was going to turn in a wet lit review. so i print off my lit review, and rush to class. i come in to class, by this time it was 15 after and late, they had already begun discussion time and i fumble around looking for my books and trying to spread my soaking papers on the desk behind me. During the class all but a folder dry out, although they are all wrinkled and weird, you all have seen paper that had been wet dry yeah that is what it looked like.

the day goes by things happen nothing worth telling really.
as i am going to bed, as i always do i grab my zune and head to bed, however my screen is acting up. it is really dark and when it goes to screen saver it isnt black it usually is just faded black. i figure it will work itself out. well this morning no luck. so i went on to zune.net mub no one really has had that problem yet. after i had a hard time with the zune i tried my camera, well it turned on and it seems ok, however i noticed a water mark on the screen. i was worried that it mad effect the pictures , i take a photo and download it on my computer, and the photo seems ok but the camera still has the water mark and i hope that nothing but that water mark is wrong. please oh please! so pray that it all works out!
