Last week was a bust, it was a total recovery from the lack of sleep and the adventures of Amsterdam. I got absolutely nothing done; in fact my computers logic board failed and was replaced in 3 days, a really fast turn around. I find that I am really not that invested in my environment right now, I feel very divorced from my situation in Oxford, and the events of last Semester and the beginning of this semester seem so far gone, that I hardly remember being the person that was then. I have 50 days left before I return to the Continent for some travel and real living. I think Americans have forgotten how to live, the people of Oxford have especially forgotten how to live. The wasted youth, spent on narcissism, egoism and self-aggrandizement/chastisement is tremendous. I really loathe the situation that is found around me, it is terribly sad and does not bode well for the future of the country/world.

I come to find out that I will be in London for the opening of Episode III, should be a good place to see the flick. Then I will be venturing back to Berlin; hopefully I will have a flat figured out by then and have a place to stay. The German program is happening again this summer in the Philosophy department, I am not going with them, and there are some involved with the trip that I care not to see, so that I hope I do not run into them at all. It is possible, though not probable as Berlin is simply massive. Time to organize and begin writing the conclusion of the semester. I will be glad when this year is done.
