Friday, 10 April
Heading off to Italy, I got to the airport with no incidents, and consumed Digestives for dinner. After the flight, I got into Venice quite easily and was met by Andrew a few minutes after I got to Palazzo Roma. He helped me carry my stuff to Campo Margherita where I met some of his friends, and then, since I was ill and tired, we ( Read more... )

Tuesday, the fam and I went to Hampton Court Palace. The train fare was way cheaper than I expected, and we also got 2-for-1 entry. The whole palace is half Tudor, half Baroque, which was an interesting mix, but it looked cool and was big, sprawling and difficult to navigate. We looked through a bunch of the interior rooms, which were cool. In one ( Read more... )

Friday I did the Stonehenge, Windsor and Bath tour with my fam. It was pretty good. Windsor was chilly at first because of the fog, but we looked at lots of stuff inside, like the GIANT dollhouse and all of the cool weapons and fancy rooms. One of them looked a lot like the giant hall at Neuschwanstein. I snuck a photo of Henry the Eighth's armor, ( Read more... )

Monday was a good, good day. Damien and I went to a variety of stores and purchased THIRTY-NINE different types of candy standard in the UK but virtually non-existent in the US. We ate our way through fourteen of these types (seven candy bars each, with milk on the side) watching the first disc of Tenth Kingdom, and rating the chocolates on ( Read more... )

I met up with Liz and Mike yesterday to get crepes at CrepeAffaire (I've found locations all over the place, it's so exciting!) after returning my massive pile of books to Senate House. It was delicious, and hanging out with them was really fun and weird. They are leaving tomorrow to go to Paris, but Mike should be back in Scotland by the time I ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I almost did not hear my alarm go off and just missed sleeping entirely through my last real Actuarial lecture. I woke up, and crisis averted, got there on time. Then, I ate and made an outline for my paper.

Several hours were then spent in the library, intermittently writing my paper, buying chocolate, and taking breaks to play bubbles. ( Read more... )

Thursday

The masquerade was quite fun! I had lots and lots and lots of chocolate dipped strawberries, cream puffs, pineapple, waffles, and chocolate. Yes, I dipped chocolate in chocolate, and it was delicious.

I placed in the mask competition- I got some body lotion for tying for fourth. I wanted third place so I could get the giant maltesers egg. ( Read more... )

Twelve sources is a lot of a 2000 word essay.

I'm finally done researching though, which means I will legitimately update soon, once I have actually written my paper.

Things that cause study fails: fmylife.com, notalwaysright.com, Garfield Minus Garfield, bubbles (as in the game that comes up when one googles bubbles), Suite Life on Deck.

Ways to ( Read more... )

Studying for tests is not fun.

Figuring out how to make delicious pineapple curry with cheese nan is lots of fun. Just thinking about it is making me hungry again.

Dell sucks. Current computer: still forcing self into standby and not waking up again. Brand new one Dell sent to my house: BSODing. Glad my rentals didn't drop mad bucks to ship it. I ( Read more... )

It was fortunate that I made lunch plans with Vanessa, or else I would not have got out of bed yesterday. After making curry, I left campus to shut myself in Senate House Library off of Russell Square, despite the glorious day and texts to go play in a park again. I managed to get through another book for my paper and take out six more for ( Read more... )
