good morning to you, too

I awoke this a.m. at 4:30 to hear the cat deciding it was time to be fed, and my mother's cheerful morning voice telling him to shut up. The cat didn't like to be ignored, and after she left for work, peed on her slippers. I got to find this nice little gesture of thoughtfulness when I went to take a shower this morning. Why do my parents have such bad luck with pets? Or is the whole house cursed?

Upon discovering that the cat had an empty food dish, I threw some food in a bowl and thought he would be happy, but whatever, he pukes all over the stairs, and makes me late for class.

Which I didn't get anything out of anyway, when I did finally make it. But I did get to retake my test, which will raise my grade. My teacher asked me if I was "that girl who never shows up to class except for test day." Ooops.

As for the other parts of my life, I really have no idea. Don't know about going to England; lol, Nick doubts that I'd be able to afford renting a flat there, if i wanted to have a more substantial diet than saltine crackers every day. But he doesn't think it will work for him to live here (right now). And that it would be impossible to have a long distance relationship for 8 years. But he says we'll work something out. So I'm not going to England, I guess. I'd probably forget I WAS in England, drive on the wrong side of the road, and get myself killed within the first week.

Oh well, at least I have my Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Uh... wait... they don't HAVE Ben and Jerry's in England. Hmmmm... that is NOT good at all. So what ARE the pros, besides being closer to Nick? I'm getting lots of cons... lol, so here's my little list:

PROS:
*Nick
*I can impress people by my tales of living abroad and give them the false
impression that I am cultured...
*fish and chips
*castles
*England needs nurses, a job would be no problem
*Cadbury chocolate... need I say more?
*cool sights to see
*closer to the ocean than I am now
*mountains
*great places to hike
*I can ride his motorcycle... I think
*he has a cool dog
*Nick gets paid to go to school

CONS:
*being away from all my friends
*screwed up time zones
*high expenses
*i would have an enormous phone bill
*i couldn't take my cats with
*there is no such thing as a Chevrolet in the UK
*Everyone drives Fords (ick).
*no Mountain Dew
*no Ben and Jerry's
*I'd have to get rid of my fish
*and I couldn't have a horse
*pick-up trucks aren't cool in the UK
*neither are cowboys
*no rodeos

And I'm going to stop now, as the con's list outweighs the bad, and that wasn't supposed to be the case. :P Which of course, doesn't mean anything; I really don't know what I want to do, because Nick doesn't know. lol. So apparently, for now, both of us are living in the well populated state of Confusion.
