My life is boring because i am

Comrades,

Alright, so I really don't do anything exciting so I will recount the really boring stuff I have been doing to tide you over until I can at leasts describe England and distract you from my own flat-character attributes. Yes, I did just use a 10th grade English term to describe myself.

I have in the past few days...
Gotten my hair cut- Just a little off the sides and some layers. It looks pretty much the same. I'm not really and adventurous hair person, no matter how often I want to dye my hair red to combat the perception I hold that I am really old and a failure. Once I cut it above my shoulders. And once I let myself get talked into highlights by my mom's friend. I was really sad afterwards because it was so light colored after they did it. I hated it. I thought I looked like one of those tan idiots with streaky blond hair who cant form complex sentences and look lost all the time.

I also got my nails done. Which I rarely do for the reason that I'm not really the kind of girl that can keep a manicure nice for an extended period of time. I like pick things up, and like, move. Case in point, I chipped my index finger within two hours of leaving the salon. The nails are a dark red color, if you care. I feel that I would like quite sophisticated if I wasn't so boring and awkward and prone to laugh strangers' idiosyncrasies that I only I seem to see.

I went to and Indians game tonight, which we won. I'm happy about that as we are only two games away from being in the playoffs for the first time in 7 years. But, at the same time, I am little disappointed that I'm going to be out of the country and in a different time zone making it really difficult to enjoy this season. Ah, c'est la vie.

I have been trying to get all my stuff together for school also. I don't feel like winging it would be good to do this time, as I am apt to pack like that on occasion. I packed all my clothes, two suitcases full, and I'm trying to get my bedding and other nicknacks together so my room doesn't look like an unadorned cement tomb. I kind of forgot to do that when I came to gtown two years ago, so i'm attempting self improvement here. You will all be happy to know, if i haven't told you before, that i got a visa and now have permission to be in the UK until next august. yay.

I'm also considering getting a job in england, because, a the money would be nice, as i'm pretty much going to be broke for the rest of my life because of this sojourn and b. it would be a good cultural experience and i'm an anthropology major and that is sort of what we do, you know. However, there is my sometimes taciturn disposition to take into account, also my lack of patience with idiots so I may need to find something a little more conducive to my particular talents. Maybe there will be an antisocial highly intelligent child i can babysit and take to the theater. Wow, I am really awkward.

What else. I went to work the other day and finally finished all the filing I have been working on. FYI Lawyers are the cause of deforestation. I have filed, I would say, at least 1000 pieces of paper since I've been there. Quick reflection of employment- If you are going to work with someone day in and day out, you really need to get along with them, or at least not hate them and think they are stupid. Timidity is not an asset. Also, office gossip and strife go hand in hand. Oh, and free bagels in the conference room can save you from wanting to slit your wrists with your 100 stack sheet of files.

Hum. In other news...my step-brother came into town to pick up my step-mom's car so he can drive it to Portland where he is currently living in what, according to his description, is the scariest house in the entire city. I mean, really, I would need to tell you over the phone or in person, but, it is really a little creepy. However, the rent is cheap and if you are unemployed, that is good.

I'm attempting to review Arabic now, so I shall bid you all adieu. All my best, Eleanor
