gossip girl,thesis, new house, political rant

so i have started updating like 4 times this week, but never had gotten around to actually finishing what i had to say.

so here is my life the last week:

- work is good, i've been working a lot. a few days i've worked from 9-8pm and i don't mind. it actually gave me a chance to work on the thesis as it is super quiet from 6-8. and also it is quite quiet during the day as well. we have been watching home and away most days around 3 online, and this morning i was able to watch last night's gossip girl and one tree hill. i love watching tv online :) also the girls and i have fun talking and laughing most of the day. and seriously there are some redic crazy landlords out there and they are so much fun to deal with. and even better are crazy parents. they make me laugh pretty much every day.

-thesis is fabulous! i have a month until it needs to be handed in. and i handed into andy a complete draft of the thesis on monday. it was 106 pages, and 27,800 words total. 21,600 words is my thesis, the other 6,000 are the footnotes (219) and bibliography. so YAY! so hopefully there aren't too many edits to make, and andy likes it. i just want it to be done! but andy did say i was the first person to hand him something this complete. so that made me feel good.

-i moved into my new house on sunday. it is a cute little house midway between the city and the college. i'm living with 3 professionals who all are nice. the house is clean and cute. my room is quite small, but it works. and i have a pretty view of the cathedral. and there is a cute back garden, which i'll probably never get to use.

-last week kara was living with me, as she needed to be out of her house on wednesday and couldn't move into her new one until monday. so that was fun. i would go to work, she would do things and thesis, we would do lunch and h&a together, when i got home from work we'd have tea, then i would do some thesis, we'd do dinner and then at night we'd hangout. so that was fun. friday evening we started watching gossip girl and i got kara hooked! so that was fun. saturday i had a few errands to run in town, then we thesised, and took breaks to watch gg. then we dressed up and went out to dinner and for a drink, which was fun :) and then we watched the last few episodes of gg. sunday was spent thesising, packing and moving some of my stuff to the new house thanks to karen and her car, which made it like a million times easier :) then kara and i just sat around talking while i was editing. it totally remined me of college, she was sprawled on my bed, i was sitting at my desk and we were talking. and it made me miss all those nights in college amy and i sitting there talking, or running down the hall to avoid doing work, lying on someone's bed and talking until 2am... i miss living with friends and just knowing each other... oh well.

-politics. it has been an interesting week. i watched all of the big speeches on youtube at work. loooooved hillary's, bill's made me laugh, the more i hear about biden i like him more and more, and obama's was good too. now sarah palin, the republican vp nominee. seriously? she is redic crazy. i do not like her one bit. she is super right wing, super pro-life, evangelical protestant, gun loving (and i'm not a gun hater) and pretty much on the opposite end of the spectrum from where i am politically. and she is from bloody alaska, no offense, but 12 people live in alaska. she was the mayor of some small town and then governer for only 2 years... what does she know? i know obama might be slightly unexperienced, but at least he was involved in state politics, then at least a senator. so he knows how dc works. gaaaaahhhhhhhh... and then the media has had a field day with the baby and pregnant daugther... seems like she might have some more important things going on in her life then to worry about campaigning for the next few months?
i mean seriously mccain, if you were trying to go after the women who would rather vote for a women, at least go for a little less crazy of one, there has to be a better republican women out there? how about condaleza, or i don't know anyone else? should be an interesting few months...

anyway that is enough of my rambling for now. happy september!
