I have been "studying" in England since the beginning of January. This experience is quickly coming to a close as I go home in 22 days. To quickly sum up this whole experience little studying has occurred which is odd considering I've always been quite a nerd. This semester I have let go of my anxieties surrounding grades and instead I have embraced a variety of new experiences. Among the things I have done, I recently traveled to Amsterdam with my roomie here. I realized I was finally letting loose when I found myself sitting on some phallic religious monument in the town square scarfing down a tub of hemp cookies. I can't say that I have ever felt that free before that. For once I didn't feel insecure because that just wasn't the vibe there-_-
