It has been snowing all morning. Like, legitimately snowing, as in great big fluffy flakes that are actually sticking and wtf this is Philadelphia we're not supposed to see this weather until December at the earliest.

I am so confused. And also a bit concerned. Weather patterns are getting wierd and that can't mean anything good...

I love that I have a class where the professor assigns one of the most widely read Japanese novels and then tells us to read it "with our slash goggles on".

That is all.

Holy god in heaven I'd forgotten how much Bryn Mawr eats anything resembling life. Whew.

( Where the hell I've been the last...oh...6 months? @.@ oh my life )

For those whom I've not had contact with yet: guess what, I survived Europe! :D No trains de-railing in Paris or falling off cliffs/getting eaten by sheep in Scotland. The trip was amazing and like my last major trip I'm going to try and do summaries by place - unfortunately I was an idiot and didn't have my camera out for the majority of the time, so there won't be pictures, really.

( So let's go in order, part one: Paris )

So about that whole updating more often thing. Yeah, didn't happen. Who's surprised? :DDD So, we'll be going through the semester in bullet-point-summary-mode. I would like to point out that these are not necessarily chronological order, I apologize for the confusion.

( Semester abroad cliff notes yaaaaaay )

But I'm home, and despite being rather cold (heating vents to my room are closed when I leave for the semester, and they've not been opened up yet) and pestered by cats am enjoying myself. I have four days to unpack, finish an internship application, do laundry, see HP7 and repack for two weeks in Europe which I leave for on the 18th. Which means I need to find out where Dad moved the sweaters in the top of my closet to when he was doing stuff in the attic, because I kind of want to bring those...

wow. just....wow.

Everytime I get looked at odd for still being a hardcore fantasy fan, or my dad looks frusturated that I'm still so into manga and anime (I think he's still under the impression that it's just a phase) and I start thinking that I'm into fandom just because it's fun and entertaining....I run into something like this.

and go, oh, yeah. fandom is not just a bunch of screaming, flailing omg-this-series-is-so-awesome! kids, it's people who take the series and really look at it, and analyze it, and come up with something more relevent to the real world then half the stuff they throw at us in class.

well....and it's fun and entertaining. XD
