Tuesday

Today was a good day. I woke up to a fire drill in my building at 7:30am. It takes me back to a time when I was ten, and had to do fire drills at my school regularly. It was pretty awesome. We have to be out of our building within 5 minutes, or they will make regular fire drills till we get it perfect. So we all stood outside half awake in our pajamas for 15 minutes!

I had class today, so some classmates and I meet every Tuesday before class to discuss the readings. Between our meetings and class we have a two hour break. I ran to the bank to transfer money into my American account, which was surprisingly easy. Then I met up with some classmates and got a quick bite to eat. Today, I felt adventurous, and decided I should start trying things that are typically British, but that I view as "weird." So I had a tuna mayonnaise sandwich. My British classmate Tom really likes Prawn cocktail potato chips, so I tried those as well. Not bad. He also had a Lion bar, which is a candy bar, and shared some with me. I am opening my mind!

Class was good. I really like being in class talking about scholarly stuff (that sounds smart, huh). But I do feel really good doing my reading and attending classes, so I know that I am in the right place.

After class, I ran into Alissa, and we decided to make dinner. We had to stop at the store to get pasta sauce for the pasta I have. We stopped at Marks and Spencer, which is a high end grocery store, clothing store, and other stuff all in one. I had not been in before, because I was afraid of the "high-end" prices. They actually weren't too bad, and they had lots of neat stuff. So I picked up a few things to last me the week, that I know will be delicious! I also bought roast beef and horseradish flavored potato crisps. I am getting fancy!

I came home, and picked up my mail. I got a card from Jason, and a package from my aunt Beth. Yay!!! I was so excited, and know I am loved :) Jason will actually be here in a few weeks, and I am so excited to see someone from home! Anyway I came upstairs to put my groceries away, and tooled around a bit on the computer before I go to cook. I had a myspace message from an old boyfriend, so I replied, and did some looking around. My friend TJ got married this weekend in Denver, and I obviously couldn't go. I have been pretty sad about it, but not as sad as I was to see some pictures of the wedding on his myspace. I started crying really hard. Don't really know why, except that I really wanted to be there. I haven't even met his wife yet, and I feel left out :( I know it will pass, but I was sad that I couldn't go to Cindy's wedding too, and cried at her pictures as well! Oh well, I am just an emotional lady :) So now I am off to cook dinner for Alissa and myself. She just booked a ghost tour for us for this weekend in Edinburgh. Yay!

I am sitting at my desk, and a red Jetta just drove by my window! Funny coincidence. I have also seen a few WRX's, which as Noah tells me are bad ass cars. Most cars are little British or European cars, but every now and then I see something different...Ok, now I am rambling, so I am off. Love you all!
