Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain..

I realized today that I'm pretty sick of my classes. Surprisingly, I'm not stressed out about all the work i have to do (you'd be super surprised if you took a look at my to-do list), but mostly just annoyed... this is the point when i feel like school gets int he way of me getting the work done.... add in all of my theories i've developed lately and you just have an annoyed Becca trying to get back to the library so she can be alone with her work and thoughts.

Granted, I'm still not entirely sure how everything is going to get done this week.

As for my theories, trust me, I'm dying to share... Unfortunately, I'm not sure I want all of this posted on the internet (never know where this stuff might pop up when I'm rich and famous, hehe), but I've learned a lot this semester... Kyle and I talked about it forever ago... Learning abroad vs learning in study abroad... it's still developing obvi, and may be for the rest of my life, but I feel like I have enough rubbish stuffed in my head right now that I could write a book on them. The theories of Becca. Catherine and I realized we've come up with a whole lot of really good ideas about the ways things should be run, too. The Ideas of Becca and Catherine.

My theories are mostly about people.... students, in particular... and then europeans. Then i have theories about europe in general, studying abroad, studying, myself, life, being young.

Once I came up with a theory about NYU students it continued to develop right before my very eyes. It was like, as soon as I thought it, I started seeing it everywhere, and saw it take on complex forms that made me reevaluate my theory, adjust it, and encompass more into it. And then of course, college students in general... and then college students who decide to study abroad.

europe theories are about different types of people and then probably the way things are run, overall. It was very interesting to see that you could take a train for a few hours and be in a completely different place run completely differently. I want to be like "dude, have you seen how theyre doing it five hours from here?" but mostly i think my ideas will remain in my head.

I guess that's okay though. I can't decide how I've changed, or how I've grown, or any of that has even grown. Mostly that will be for you all to determine, I suppose.

Mostly I feel like the same ole' me, in a place that has opened by mind to so many new things that I don't really know what to do with all, but write... and i can't have this stuff on the internet...

So I think I'll do my Money and Banking Problem Set instead.

hehe, Bec

ps i dont know how people eat the croissants from the cafe without making a mess and getting them all over themselves because i sure do..... so flaky and delicious though! :)
