Don't get too excited now...but I have a video I made for one of my marketing exams posted on YouTube. Click the link so you can watch the 5 min video.

Just keep in mind I filmed the whole thing on my Sony Cybershot Camera and I have never made a movie in my life, so the quality and content is not the best. If I had more than 3 days to work on it I could have done a better job. Enjoy!

A Very LONG Week...
Hi Everyone,
This was a very long week. I have been feeling under the weather and school is getting more difficult by the day. I had a nervous breakdown the other day after I received a VERY bad (and I feel was not deserved) mark on one of the exams I took last week. It was just so out of character for me and the stress of the week was made aparent when I got very upset about my bad mark. Overall though my exam scores were good. There is always room for improvement.
I have exams AGAIN this upcoming week! I feel I have a better grip on this weeks projects though, so things should turn out a bit better. I am making a video for my marketing class (very amature quality) but we have to put them up on YouTube. I will send you all the link when its done...but don't laugh because it will surely be crap seeing that I've never made a video in my life! My teacher is more concerned about getting the message across than the video quality being good.
Marangoni hosted their "Welcome to School" bash at a very swanky members-only club which they rented out for the night. There was open bar and losts of dancing and LOTS of fashion. Go to the web site if you want to check it out: http://www.thecuckooclub.com/ . I took my friend Sara as my +1 date for the night and she was astonished by the things people were wearing (or not wearing for that matter). She said that someone should make a reality TV show about the students at this school because they really are a bunch of characters...not me of course...I'm completely normal and boring!
Anyways...I'm at Starbucks right now and it is the most relaxing time I've enjoyed all week. I am sad thinking about all of the Thanksgiving festivities that will be going on this week. I was going to make a dinner for my friends, but I really don't have the money or the time to do so. I am making a point to go Christmas shopping next weekend though...it won't be the same as going out on Black Friday, but I will try my best to get into the holiday spirit. There are a lot of festivals, light displays, ice rinks and other holiday-centric activities going on around the city. I know it has been really cold in Md. lately and its not quite so cold over here, but we might (and that a big MIGHT) get some snow here this week. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be nice.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone...and eat some extra turkey and pumpkin pie for me!!!!

It's been a while! HI!
Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I have written to you all. Life was hectic this week because it was my first week of "exercises" as they call them here. Basically tests and projects due for our first grades. Up to this point I have no idea what kind of student I am because we havent gotten any grades. Next week I will be able to tell you how I did!. At the moment I am in the middle of an assignment and am very very sick of Microsoft Power Point!! It's due tomorrow so this will have been a very productive week once I'm finished.
This weekend I am making plans to take my first trip out of London!! Exciting! My friend Sara is coordinating a day trip to Bath and Stonehenge (sorry Mom, I'll go again when you come...or we can go somewhere else!) I will spend the rest of the weekend "shopping in the name of research." I swear my professors told me to go shopping...trust me, where I'm going (Bottega Veneta and Chanel) I can't afford anything anyways.
I find it amazing that there are only 5 weeks 'til Christmas! Very exciting! I cant wait to go shopping for some fabulous gifts! And I can't wait to come home and have some normal food and see all my family and friends! And I am sad to say I actually miss Nordstrom...it's wierd not working retail during the holiday season. I know you will all think I'm crazy for saying that but I really do miss the psychotic work schedule and sassy Nordstrom shoppers! I will be sure to come visit. (I miss the discount too...I spent the other night making a shopping cart on the web site filled with Half-Yeary stuff and when I was done it was like $2000!! I didnt get anything, but I got pleasure just out of making the shopping cart full! Shopping is a SICK disease!)
Side note for Nordstrom employees: Genette Diggs is coming to visit with Felicia over the next month and I will be visitng with both of them soon. I talked to Felicia yesterday and she is doing well and told me she thinks the baby is coming in the next 2 weeks!!! Even though shes not due until Dec. 4th! Shes a trooper...very tired and still finishing her semester at school. I'll let you know what happens! I'm on London baby watch!
Anyways, I have to get back to my massive Power Point. I'm going to put on another disk of FRIENDS in the background and get to work. It was fish and chips for dinner tonight...I was planning to lose a few lbs. while I was over here but I couldn't resist!
Miss You ALL!!

Quick Update
Hi All...
Just wanted to pop on here for a minute and give a quick status update. I have been very busy with school work lately and still do not have internet at home; so when I am at school I spend all my time working and stealing their wireless connection.
With that being said, nothing much is new. We have a working phone connection in our house now, but no phone....we should have the internet installed in the next 2 weeks (fingers crossed).
I was excited yesterday to be hearing about the US election from a different perspective. There is a lot of media coverage on it over here. I got the official result of Obama's win at 4 am this morning via text from Paul (thanks babe, I was sleeping!!)
I have exams and several projects due next week so I am spending a lot of free time working on those.
Thats all for now...I'm gunna get some Subway on the way home because I am tired of cooking everynight. I wish we had a microwave and then having dinner wouldnt be such a process!!
Oh, I forgot the best part!!!! We have a working TV (but no cable, just to play DVD's) AND we have all 10 seasons of FRIENDS! I think that should last us until Christmas break and then I will bring all the seasons of Sex and the City from home!! And yes, we are very content with that situation.

P.s. The pictures above are from my excursions out on Halloween. I didn't dress us b/c I didnt have enough time to get myself together, but I had a good idea...Seema and I were going to go as Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain. If we hadn't thought of the idea the night before it would have been perfect beacuse the party we went to there was a John McCain and a Sarah Palin!
