A blog about me, a 26 year old travel-lusty Ohio girl who's currently doing the grad school thing in the Midwest after spending a few years traveling the globe. I like my British bf, traveling, feminism, Korean food, pictures, writing, and schoolin'.

Summertime Fun

We have been spending every second possible in the gorgeous outdoors lately! You never know how long the sun will last around here, and after the terrible rains of April and the whole first half of M...

Hanging out in the Royal Pavilion Gardens

My work commute in the mornings consists of a nice 15 walk across Brighton to a building that is across the street from the Royal Pavilion, a former royal residence done in a 19th century Indo-Sarace...

A Brighton Beach Picnic

Yesterday was perfect. The weather has taken a turn for real summer, with temperatures in the mid to high 70s, tons of sunshine, and hardly any of the cloud cover that is so expected around here. (Ar...

Trains and the Lanes

Two things I love here. Trains. And the Lanes. Tiny, narrow walkways through Brighton filled with shops. Easy to transport yourself to a time when all the streets in England looked like this. (I mea...

Sun and Sea

The best part of moving further south will be the views on the coast. I never get tired of them. Growing up in a land-locked place, the idea of living by a large body of water (even a cold one…...

The Sidewinder

A successful Saturday of house hunting called for a few beers for restorative purposes. It was good. We were tired, and in bed by 11. Such is life. Tagged: going out, house hunting, husband, living ...

Still going

Jobs I’ve been offered so far in the three weeks that I’ve lived here: -Driving around to universities to sell textbooks (or something like that, I can’t drive so I didn’t tak...

Swapping and Dressing Up

Saturday afternoon: clothes swapping. Seven ladies, tons and tons of clothes, lots of tea drunk. New brown boots attained (but more things gotten rid of, I promise!) Saturday night: Mad Men Christmas...

Trivia’d

Team Flannel did not fare well at last night’s holiday pub quiz trivia night. We were doing well after the first round but it was a false start, apparently. The prize for fourth place? (Out of ...

One more thing about graduating.

I want to write this down because it is a feeling that I wish to remember. In my cynicism as I get older,at times I feel like there aren’t as many wonderful things waiting for me as I thought w...

Graduating

It happened! Now on to the rest of my life. In a dancey kinda way. Weee! I can’t believe I’m actually done. Really, truly done. This is nice. Tagged: grad school, graduation

Thrice the giving, take three: better late than never.

Apples to apples is one of the greatest games in the world, and probably my favorite parlor game (excluding scrabble, which is #1 of all time, but which I prefer to play with just one partner). Frien...

Thrice the giving, take two.

I dearly love spending the entire day with my mom at her house for Thanksgiving. The cooking, the Macy’s parade, the wandering around in my pajamas until right before it’s time to eat whe...

Thrice the giving, take one.

When your parents are divorced and remarried to other people, it means all holidays get multiplied. Thanksgiving #1 for me was my stepmother’s side last Sunday. There were lots of crazy kids, a...

Success

My defense went swimmingly yesterday and I am a giant step closer to graduating! I passed, as you can tell by that intensely serious baby up there. That was the face I made as I walked out of my adv...

Almost there

A point has been reached at which I am having to make a solid effort to not scratch my eyes out from the boring predictability that has taken over my life. I promise, soon I will stop using this blog...

Favorite movies, a stolen idea.

  Inspired by Ms. Evie and her list, presented without commentary. Shameless copy cat list-making ensues. I love lists. Jon 1. The Shawshank Redemption 2. There Will Be Blood 3. Life Aquatic 4. ...

Grateful

Today a package came in the mail, and inside of that package was my passport with a shiny new spousal visa that says I can legally go live with my husband in England. Two days ago I turned in the fin...

Two days
