Strongbow cider is delicious. Cider is like beer, but it tastes good. It’s sweet and nummy. I hope we can find it in the States at affordable prices.

Today began the hell of the last two weeks of class=papers and presentations and finals ( Read more... )

It was a lovely day, 65 degrees and sunny and perfect for walking around and being touristy.

Today I worked on my Media paper ( ( Read more... )

This has been a good weekend so far. Friday I saw the art exhibit at the Tate, which was awesome. Friday night we went to dinner at Old Dutch Pancake House, which has delicious pancakes (more like crèpes, really) with delicious on top. Mine had cheese, artichokes, basil, garlic and tomatoes. It was so good. Afterwards, some of us went to a hookah ( ( Read more... )
