HOORAY!!!!!!!

This has been the best weekend of my life!!!!

Not only did I have an AWESOME time in Oxford with Lera, that was just what I needed to remind me why I'm here doing what I'm doing


BUT ALSO....

THE RED SOX WON THE AMERICAN LEAGUE PENNANT AND ARE OFF TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!



I'M SOO HAPPY I COULD CRY!!!!!

Time for an update

Well its the end of my third week here, and the end of week two of classes. Things seem to be going a bit better. I'm getting along with people better, and I think I'm even starting to make friends. I've also finally started all my classes. I'm only taking two, a Soviet History module for postgrads, that consists of me and one other student, so that is quite interesting to say the least, it really is just a two hour long conversation with the professor, who is quite zany, and I also like that. The other class i'm taking is a Russian class, to keep up with my language skills etc. I quite like the way language classes here are structured.

I dont really know what else to say right now. Boxing is going well although I didn't make it to training this morning because I was up till 6 watching the Sox fucking lose to the Tribe. Oh well the series is tied, and we will come back and win. We've still got Dice-K to pitch, and after Sabathia and Carmona, who did not pitch well their pitching goes downhill. But jesus christ Francona better keep Gagne off the mound.
