Back to School

Here I am, sitting in my little room in Richmond University, watching the cloudy London skies, wondering if I should be happy I escaped from hot, sizzlin' Sofia or miserable that there's no more sun here... :) Haha, you know how some people can complain about pretty much anything? Instead of being happy with what they have (ie some cool weather for a change), they'd focus on what they don't have (sunshine). Well, I'm not one of those! :D I'm going to accept the grayness outside and enjoy the fact that I'm chillin' with my computer and actually have the time to update this blog again.

I arrived in London yesterday after a fairly uneventful flight *yaaaawn*. There were some kids in the seats right behind me who wouldn't shut up the ENTIRE flight... while I would normally go ballistic and imagine violent scenes of kid-stabbing in my head (haha yeah right), this time I didn't even pay attention to them. Part of the flight I slept, the other - doodled (oh that's a good verb!), and read for a bit. Like I said before: UNEVENTFUL. Not even worth this paragraph.

Let me go back now, to my last weekend in Bulgaria. Now THAT was a great weekend! Saturday was family day and friends evening.

Family Day: The good old family lunch, complete with mega tasty bean soup, steaks, and salad... Mmm, classy! In the morning Mom and I went shopping and what not, which is generally a sweet way to start the day! :D Lunch, as I said, was delicious, and I got a chance to chat to my grandpa's for a while. Still, I was glad when the whole 'ceremony' was over cause I felt so sleepy all of a sudden. Quick nap, then WHOOSH out of the house I went (yay!).

I met up with a friend from high school, walked around Sofia, and then went to a club/bar called Mono. There I started a most incredible evening with the most incredible people in advertising ;) My friends from LBS and I had a couple of drinks, then an Olympic meal, and ... a few more drinks right before the finish line.

So at about... 4 am... I went to bed, only to wake up 4 hours later and start packing. Gives a whole new definition to last-minute packing :D Thankfully, all the stuff eventually fit in the suitcase (which weighed 32 kilos! Overweight, indeed, and very difficult to haul from bus to bus). After some extreme packing, there was yet another lunch, and then

ZOOOOOOOOOOM

flight time!

The morning was just a tad hazy.... MAYBE due to some sex (on the beach) I had the previous night :P

Oh, memories, how awesome you are!

And now I'm actually going to leave my room and go meet some people I haven't seen for ages!

Summer Reflections

See, I knew it before I even started this blog - I was not going to be able to update it regularly.. :) Hmmm... I guess that's the way things are.

Sooooo, in about 10 days I'll be back in dear old rainy London... :) I can't wait!! Well, actually let me rephrase that: about 2 months ago I couldn't wait to go back. Now I have a slightly different view on things... lol.

I had an AMAZING summer!!! What made it one of the most memorable summers ever? For the most part, my internship! It was a super fun month! I miss everyone so much! Not only did I gain a lot of invaluable work experience, but I also found new, incredible friends - people with a hilarious sense of humor, awesome characters, cool life stories, and positive outlooks about the world. They may be a bit stressed out at times, haha, but either way I couldn't imagine my summer without them :) Hence I'm slightly sad now... It's bittersweet. I feel like working at the agency where I took my internship... I feel like hanging out with those folks all the time... I don't want to go back to London yet, especially considering how many friends are not coming back....

On the other hand, I'm so psyched about this semester... I want to travel, take animation courses or something, meet new people, etc, etc, and of course keep up my GPA haha. Many goals, many plans.... Some will work out, others won't, but it should be fun anyway...

Only I'll miss my colleagues from the summer. I can't stop thinking about that. Ah, I'm so easily attached to people :) And I'm a fiery Aries as we all know... :)

I love everyone I love!!! :D

Well, I'm in a little internet cafe in Greece .. it's weird cause I know it's Greece, but there are tons of Bulgarians here. Gah, annoying! Hehe. I love my country woohoo!

Alright I'll end this now... :) It was fun but I need to go to bed soon... I'm an addict.. sigh... And I shouldn't use 'but' so often, but who cares... :D
