Wake up, you’re getting high on your own supply
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same.

To my readers (in what dwindling numbers you are):
Apologies for how long this has taken to update. Much has happened, such as the increase in actual school work in a highly concentrated two week period. Who would have thought that uk schools actually make people do work?
Anyways, london was an awesome experience. So different than new york but a marvel of a city nonetheless. The term here is posh for the southerners (I discovered it on the back of a door to a toilet stall where someone angrily wrote, ‘fuck you, posh southern bitches’ - he wasn’t mincing words, I suppose.)
I went way over budget there but in a city where a burger is $12 CAD (for just the burger), it is quite easy to spend more than intended.
Some changes to my April plans have occurred; instead of portugal and spain, an exercise in poorly-planned traveling, we are going to serbia/croatia and germany. I can’t wait - I have really been pining to go to germany and in april it should be fairly nice. As for serbia, a friend has told me the best beaches are in serbia and montenegro so that will be very nice for april - especially at 17 euro a night for a villa!
I met a lot of people going on the trip to africa last night - all very nice people. Made me look forward to it even more!
Here are some songs I have been liking recently (thanks to iva for showing me phantogram) and hopefully you’ll enjoy them as much as I have.
