Graduation was absolutely wonderful. I am now a college graduate...call the geriatric unit. Anyway, during commencement, the President of the school gave a speech about students, etc. Of course, Dr. McGowan talks about a few random students and then he speaks of Chad Barras who "we all saw on television during the London bombings when he was studying abroad." Of course, this media whore has deep deamons who have come to haunt him at his commencement ceremony.
After it's all said it done, I will say that I'll miss good ol' BU. It was a fun time sharing the memories of my college experience. I know I'm not fully complete with the whole "college" thing as I intend to start my Master's degree within the next year or so.
I'm out, bitches- with a Bachelor of Arts.

4 days until my last final
Graduation is December 14th. My diploma is already made.
Ha, bitches. I'm an alum.
W. Fielding Rubel School of Business- (As Jay Z so eloquently put it)"I came, I saw, I conquered"
Praise me. I have a Bachelors degree.
Now, I can work at McDonalds because I still don't have a job.
I'll miss you all.
The end.

Dear Target 0119,
Hello! How have you been lately? You aren't mad, are you? I know, I know. It's been a long time. 5 years isnt' something that I can just forget in the blink of an eye. We've grown up together. Tomorrow is the end. You must close your doors and I must wave goodbye for the last time. It's going to be bittersweet.
I can remember the first time I truly laid eyes on you. I was a junior in high school and love was all we knew. I needed money for my summer trip to London. No, I wasn't using you for your money. I took pride in what I was doing. I loved being near you. Time moved on and I was promoted to a Guest Service Team Leader. I loved the sound of your keys clanking on my hip. I always felt so powerful and had the ego boost of the century. You used to love it when I could make the goal for Target Visas. I'll miss that.
The years have gone by and I've left for awhile. Last summer I moved to T-0139 to be an intern, and this past summer I spent a few months in London. I knew you were upset, but you had to let me go. I needed the chance to be on my own, to grown up. I needed the chance to see how much I actually cared about you.
I did, decide, though, that our relationship cannot last. I'm so sorry. I never wanted it to end like this. I fully envisioned myself as an ETL or STL. I never thought this day would come. I told everyone else and they were all in disbelief.
I want you to know that I still care for you. I don't want this to be the last goodbye. You will close your doors for the last time at 4:30 today. I'll miss you. There will be other team members, other stores, but I want you to know that you will always hold a special place in my heart. The time you close your doors also marks the time of my last minutes of a team member at Target. My separation is effective as of that time.
It's time for me to move on and for you to move on as well. Maybe we will reunite one day. You never know where the road of life may end. Thank-you for five wonderful years. You'll never know how much I learned because of you.
Sincerely,
Chad Barras

It's taking some getting used to being "American" again. I must say that I like it, even though things seem a bit "trashier" on this side of the pond. If you've been wondering how my life has been (even though you probably haven't wondered at all), here's the cliffs notes on the past three weeks of my life:
- Orientation was a blast. It was the last one for me which made it bittersweet. I'm ready to move on, yet it scares the hell out of me to be graduating in December.
- School started and my classes aren't that bad. I have to do the usual-read and write papers. That's about it. I can't believe that it's finally my last semester.
- I feel so old. I have never felt this old on campus before. The Freshmen seem so insignificant in their worries and so YOUNG. They were all drinking the other night and I was like LAME.
- I have been to Shenans 3 times this week. Yes, I have given in to the "Oh, my God Shenanigans is so much fun." Well, I still don't know the hype, but this was my third appearance in a week. Know why? Because I'm 21 and I can.
- If someone asks me about the London bombings one more time, I think I'll vomit.
- I got a new car. Clifford Cletis was traded in and I am now the proud owner of a Silver 2004 Pontaic Aztek. Cliff was getting a bit old for me- and a bit worn out. His little legs had a hard time rolling sometimes. I figured it was time to let go to a happier place. I love my new car!!! It's pretty ugly, but I love it. As Mary Byrne states, those cars are like a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back. I want to go tailgating like it's going out of style- even though I never really went before. Meg Larks wants to go camping with her Jeep and my Aztek...I think I'm in. The Aztek's name is Sherman. I would (and he) would prefer to be called that from now on.
- Liz's leadership house is pretty cool...it isn't as Mexican as we thought. Thanks for letting Tim and me hang out there- even though we're losers and don't live on campus anymore.
- Finally, we just installed wireless internet at my house. I am a graduating senior and we finally enter the technological revolution and get the internet. How backwards. I am happy, though, to be online 24 hrs a day.
- Whits and Kim- sorry I didn't call...The past three weeks since returning have been quite hectic. I do still like you both and would like to hang out sometime.
Well, folks. Those have been the highlights of the past three weeks. I promise to update more often. I know I always say that and then take a sebatical. We'll see. Holler back.

This is it. The end. 9 weeks of my adventure in London are over. I go home on Monday. Yesterday was the last day of my internship. Everyone took pictures and they threw a little party with cake and tea. They even gave me a 50 pound (about 100 dollars) gift card to Harrods. I must say that I will miss everyone in the office. I'm too manly to cry, but I did feel a bit emotional. I'll miss it. I'll return home a bit wiser, a bit more worldy, but still the same ol' Chad Barras. I hoped to become skinny walking everywhere- that surely didn't happen. This trip has made me appreciate what I do have- a wondereful family and good friends. Guys, I have miss everyone so much over the past few weeks. I can't wait to see you all.
My flight gets in on Monday at 10:30. I'll ring you up.
Next post from the United States.
From London- signing off.

Yet another day in the office doing absolutely nothing....
I have such mixed emotions about returning home in a week in a half. I definitely won't miss public transportation, but I will miss the people and the experience of living in London. I'm ready to get home to see everyone, yet living here has become normal. It's quite an odd experience. I don't miss the trivial things that I missed at the beginning of the trip. Things like this change you...
In other news, I'll be at Jerry Springer in the morning. I'll let you know how the white trashy-ness ensues. Well, I guess some things never change...
Cheers!
Chad

Referring to my line in "Pippin", I am ready for my extraordinary climax of my London summer abroad.
Yesterday, I received a call that I indeed received tickets to a taping of The Jerry Springer Show here in London.
Jerry Springer, the all time American talk show host has taken his white trash clan to this side of the pond. He tapes the same show here in London that he used to do in the states- but better. It features an array of white trash Brits who do anything from have transvestite children to sleep with the midget next door.
Needless to say, I will be in the audience for a taping on Thursday morning.
I want to ask a question from the audience, but I must say I'm a bit timid. I have thought of possible things I should say:
"Once a dead beat, always a dead beat."
"Mamma, you better wear some clothes. I think Jenny Craig be calling your name"
When the guests on the show respond with rude comments to me. I am going to yell:
"YOU DON'T KNOW ME. YOU DON'T KNOW ME"
Peace Out.
JERRY JERRY JERRY JERRY JERRY JERRY
Take care of yourself, and each other.

In Edinburgh, Scotland for the weekend....holler!

Rachel at work kept talking about going to a hen party this past weekend. A vision in my head was that of her picking out her favorite hen to cook for dinner with the rest of her friends. Actually, it was just a bachelorette party. FYI- A bachelor party is called a stag party.
BTW- Definitely ran into some Richard Cox last night. I was glad to find that all was well in the good ol' US of A during the past month.

4 years ago, I had to do one of the most horrific things in my life: read a book titled "Sarum" written by Edward Rutherford.
Today, I actually went to Old Sarum in England and it blew as much as the book did. It was pretty- just nothing to do.
By the way, I bought a post card from Sarum that I am sending you and your mother, Whitney.
I need your address.
Love,
Chad
