Motivational Inspiration
I realized that I never gave my london blog a closure. It’s alright, i’d rather keep those last couple of weeks for myself.
Tonight I hung out with Ross and Jamie and Alex
So I got really motivated to start writing in this thing again. I know I keep saying that’ll i’ll write in here, but i’m gonna try my darndest.
So right now I’ll start with a laundry list...

my week
has been hellish. I’ll probably vlog about it later. Oh yeah it’s going to be epic. P.s the snow refuses to go away. I want sun and spring and flowers. No more snow.
Since the snow has started to melt, i’ve actually been able to go outside. This is exciting seeing as how for the past two weeks, illness has plagued me and I wasn’t able to even live. So this is good news. Also in good news! I’ve made a youtube channel and I plan on trying to get famous. Let’s hope it works.
this is a lame attempt at my first non-london-esque blog...
due to the snowstorm
THIS BLOG IS BEING RESURRECTED. hooray….
i hate history papers, boo.

Beatles in Hamburg and Thanksgiving in Flat 4
Well, it certainly has been awhile. Things have been crazy busy lately and sadly this blog has taken a back seat. But, i’m still updating…let’s see if i can remember things.
Ok so last weekend, Kelsey, Mikyla and I traveled to Hamburg, Germany super early in the morning. We met up with our friend Tauli and got to do a lot of fun things. I’ll let them instead of describing...
Christmas Comes Early in London
I know i know, I suck with updates….deal with it haha.
So the first week back from fall break was very strange. It was hard to adjust back to London and having a routine after a lot of relaxing in serbia. But none the less, I still came back to London and to my lovely flat with the friends and crazy roomies.
Monday I went back to work and nothing has changed just a lot more work, but I...
Homeland craziness and random tidbits.
Whoa it’s been awhile since an update…sorry about that. I know how much you all were dying without my blog updates.
I hope everyone’s Halloween was super great and now it’s time to get ready for Thanksgiving. Except my lovely brits don’t do that holiday, so they are now straight up getting ready for christmas…like light-up nights already. I’m not so sure...

I'm Dutch...Isn't that vierd?
Hey guys, time for the weekly update, because that’s what it’s become.
During the week was yet again just filled with school and Anna Freud. I’ve been doing a lot of organizational stuff with work with of course the bonding. I love the people in my office and they’ll probably read this and call me a weirdo and continue to make fun of me, which I love them for. I got to go...
We're in a room with a DEAD GUY!
So my posts have become quite the weekly thing, sorry about that, but let’s be honest i’m just livin’ life.
Ok So this week at school was crazy and by that I mean I had three projects in three days..and that’s it…Yup, classes are really not that big of a deal in case you didn’t notice. It’s ok though, I mean I’d rather have it that way than actually...
In about 40 years, I'll be addicted to gambling.
Hey Everyone?
How’s everyone doing? Hopefully well and hopefully school is going by splendid for those of you who still do that thing.
So my weekend in Brighton was lovely. It was a really relaxing escape from the hussle and bussle that is my love, London. Kelsey, Mikyla, Leah and I basically just rode the bus to Brighton, checked into our Hostel and then met up with their friend Jenna and...
"Sir she was tryin' to fight me"
Iva, here reporting for blogging duty because it’s friday and i am free today. Finally. My schedule is so crazy with work and class and funtime that it just seems like time is flying by. Monday came and went, where basically everyone but me, kelly, and brittany had to go to a play for class, which i’m a little jealous of cause it was at the globe theatre. I will get there.
Anyhoo,...

Well, I walked across a crosswalk...
Hey, whoa it’s been awhile since an update eh?
Well let’s see how well i can do this:
Last sunday after getting home from Dublin, a bunch of us went out to hang out and came home and fell asleep. Basically last week was just a working, hanging out, bonding type of week. Nothing really exciting to report except that I love my roommates, everyone last one of them. We all have such a...
Vitamin G!
Oh dear it has been a while hasn’t it? And I have sooo much to tell you guys!
Ok So Thursday, the night before Dublin, was fantastic! Alex, Tauly, and Henry (aka another one of liz’s cousins…liz? seriously? how many you got) came over to our flat for some good old fashion fun. It was the first time we entertained people in the flat, and it’s safe to say it was a great...
I Just Spent 15 Pounds and I don't even feel bad...
Oh my it’s been a couple of days. Let’s see how well I can write this. I’ve seriously been so exhausted. But it’s a good kind of exhausted, we just keep going and going. Honestly, that’s the type of mentality to have because I keep doing such awesome stuff, I love it. So yeah apologies in advance if this entry seems scattered brained…chances are…it will.

Oi!
Whhhhhaaaatttttt’s up?
So in these crazy journey called London, i’ve basically been trying to keep up with this blog, not just cause of the crazy readers (love you guys) but because it’s been a great way to reflect and remember crazy stuff that’s been going down. Shall we continue? Let’s!
So after we last left off, our dashing heroine (that’s me) was last...
"BRUUUUUUCEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Oh Hey,
So it’s been a couple of days since a post, so why not update? Let’s see, on monday I had my interview for my internship at the Anna Freud Centre. In short, I am going to be an assistant research psychologist on a couple of projects. I’m really excited, even though i hate during research (shout out to Jenn B. on that one). Ruth and Michelle are my supervisors and they...
It's Like Michael Jackson...TOO SOON!!!!
Hey everyone,
so where did i leave off? Oh yes. Friday was a very busy day, we had police talks in the morning about the safety of London and how to not mess up. Except the whole time the police officer kept making jokes about getting wasted himself, but part of me thinks he was just making fun of the american youngsters. So after that, Kelsey and I, and others headed back to our flats to hang...
It's Not a Tuma
Hey everyone!
So the second day in Londontown was awesome. I’m more awake that’s for sure. Kelsey and I (in case i didn’t say this before she’s my actual roommate) went to bed around 8:00pm here, so in most cases that’s 3:00pm for you cats. and we slept until 8:00am to wake up for our first real day in London.
We woke up and got ready, and all the roomies and the...
"I'm not sure where I am or what time it is...but...
well after months and months of planning…here I am sitting in my room in my flat in London. I’ve pretty much been up the past 24+ hours and Kelsey and I are about to go to bed, even though it’s almost 7pm.
Leaving Pittsburgh was super emotional, the family, along with Sean came to send me off and let’s just say I cried like a lil baby, duh. Miss you guys sooooo much. Who...

Just a quick update.
I hate packing.
I don’t understand how I can pack my life away in two suit cases.
Instead I’m watching music videos….
I know I know, “Iva it’s so close you have to pack”
BUT I DON’T WANNNNNAAAAAA
kbye
First one.
So I have never been one to keep a journal or a diary or anything of the sort. But I felt like this is the one time in my life, where a little organization is needed. My dearest friend Ross has been waiting for me to create one of these, so why not now?
Ok here’s the deal so far:
I leave in a week. Holy crap. Do I have anything packed? absolutely not. I feel like I’m putting if off...
