Well, it's about 24 hours until the insanity of mid-term week. I have finished 3 of my 6 papers and I'm about halfway done with my 4th. Movin' and groovin'. It's interesting how during the semester it seems like we had NOTHING to do and then all of a sudden BOOM homework out the wazoo. Oh well. I'm somehow managing to keep my sanity.
Monday and Tuesday night I will be seeing plays. Monday is The Comedians. It's a play about evening classes (they love those here) and a group of men that want to leave their day jobs to become comedians. On Tuesday we will be seeing Othello in Trafalger Square. It looks like it will be a really cool adaptation. I'm pretty excited about it.
Thursday evening I will be leaving with a few friends to visit Ireland and Scotland for 10 days. In Ireland we are taking a 3 day tour around the country and then spending one full day in Dublin. Don't you worry, I will be visiting the Guinness factor! When we get to Scotland we will be doing another 3 day tour of the country and we have saved 2 full days in Edinburgh to see what all is going on there. It is a little bit stressful trying to write papers, study for tests AND prepare for a 10 day vacation. Yea, poor me, right?
We went to Bath on Friday for a day trip. It really is a beautiful city and worth seeing. I feel like our mutual stress about mid-terms made the experience a little less fun. Oh well. We had some pad thai and Alyssa and I found some crepes. Yes, Nutella and caramel with a scoop of blackberry gelato. It rained and was chilly the entire time we were there which was kind of nice because it felt a little more like Tacoma. It's really really strange how sunny it has been. I shouldn't be complaining, but isn't London supposed to be super rainy all the time?!
I'm excited for a package my mom sent me. I haven't received it yet, but it has one of my favorite sweatshirts and I just can't wait to bundle up in that. Reminders of home are always nice.
Back to my paper... but first here is a picture from PostSecret that I absolutely love and adore.
Cheers!
