my name is kristin,

I am twenty-one years old, and I like to read and to watch movies. How many times have I said that in the last two weeks? That is how I make my students introduce themselves, so of course I have to give an example first. The funny thing that I'm starting to notice, though, is that my English is starting to get weird. Sometimes I say things in the wrong order, like my students, and last night on the phone with my mom I was speaking slowly, like I do with my students, even though she speaks English and it doesn't matter. Man oh man.

It's my first day here toute seul (all alone). Evan left this morning. Even though we had talked a lot about it and I watched him pack and everything, it didn't really hit me until I watched him riding way on the train this morning, and I wasn't going with him. Sad. However, right now I'm in the process of booking my trip over break, so that's exciting. I leave for England tomorrow! I decided a night ferry just to see what it's like, so I'll let you know how it goes.

That's it for now. Oh, and thanks for the comments on here-keep 'em coming! It's good to hear from everyone, and I can never have to much American love! :)
