uncommonly common

today brings to an end the third week of me being in Bath, England. I never would have thought that it would go so fast. It seems like just yesterday that I was rushing to catch my flight from Rome to Gatwick. Instead of waking up at 4 to take the 445 train to Fiumicino for a 7 o'clock flight, I woke up at 520. I ended up taking a taxi from the Angelinis to the airport (SORRY MOM I KNOW) and just made the flight. It stunk to officially say goodbye to probably the last time in my life where I will ever be relatively stress free, but alas life moves on whether I'm ready or not. Once back in the UK I had to go pick up all that I had left behind. Including my over 50 lbs rolling duffel bag, backpack, computer and smaller duffel bag containing everyone gifties. I looked like a complete fool. The train was long and I was tired and I almost started crying when I saw my group of ASEers waiting outside the train station. Moving into Prior Park house was a struggle but I'll tell you this for free: unpacking everything in all my bags was the most euphoric experience. HUZZAH for not living out of a suitcase! The girls started to trickle in. And this is the part where I introduce them, in the same style that you all met the Stirling crew.

Berkley - 6'1''. Art major turned bio major. Loves to hike and eat veggies. Makes me feel inadequate in almost every way. But is my roommate and I love her more than I can say.
Brooks - Came a day late. When we are in a room together, the collective maturity levels pitfalls. When he first came, I thought she was going to be a bitch, but she is rapidly becoming one of my favorite people on the planet.
Diana - %100 Portugese. So nice. Enjoys speaking. Even if that means speaking over anyone who is talking. Always has a magic never-ending supply of skittles and sour patch kids.
Cait - Makes me laugh. Wants to be a mom (she will be the BEST mom). Is the most sorority person I have ever met and I love it.
Emily - DENISON! Yay for making more Denison friends while not being on campus. Brown hair, very short, and has this expression on her face that says "I either dont care, or I'm about to fall asleep". She's pretty fantastic.
Lisa - Long brown hair, walks like a dancer. Very high strung. Is not the kind of person you would expect to be late all the time, but she is. The first real mormon I have ever really met. Incredibly smart.
Aubrey - So beautiful. Always ready for anything. Recently discovered Pimms and cannot get enough of it (in a responsible way, of course). Super sweet and is not afraid to dance. Where ever.

So thats my house. Others of import:
Gina - DENISON! DELTA GAMMA!  No matter what the situation, she can always get someone to buy her a drink. It is a skill I'm hoping to learn, quickly because my funds are non-existent. She is hilarious and not afraid to speak her mind, or anyone elses mind.
Amanda - DENISON! DELTA GAMMA! Probably the most beautiful person I have ever seen in this life. I'm not joking or being nice, she is objectively stunning. So sweet and willing to listen.
Rachel - DENISON! DELTA GAMMA! Just a little baby DG. Calls everyone 'Darlin' which would be annoying, but when she says it it sounds nice. I wish I could claim her as my little, or just be her best friend.

So many Denison people.

Now I'm just trying to bust out as much info as possible before I get home so that this blog was not for nothing!
