Note to self: take the bus on Thursday mornings

Literally stood for 35 minutes while buses passed full of kids off to school. Guess I'm walking to my 9.00 am class on Thursdays now.

Yesterday:

+ Shakespeare was wonderful. King Lear is really not my favorite, but he's so passionate about it and it makes me miss my HRSC darlings.

+ I broke from the study abroad kids and went to Patisserie Valerie for lunch where I had a Belgian waffle heaped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. So decadent. The little English ladies next to me looked askance, but I didn't care. I have a very good relationship with my taste buds and the pleasure center in my brain and I don't care who knows it.

+ Went back to school, found the quiet study section in the library with a friend, and read for Shakespeare until around 5...

+ ...when I went to the Irish pub O'Neill's to meet B. Had a Strongbow, fish and chips (!!! yes, you read that right! I had fish and chips--with vinegar!), and then a Bailey's latte.

Today:

+ I still love my On the Box class, but sometimes I strongly disagree with Ian's statements. He's the prof and therefore, when I write my papers, I'll have to at least sort of lean that way, but I think half of what he says is bullshit.

+ It's interesting to hear what British people have to say about an American commercial and how it reflects America (specifically, NYC. Ugh, don't even get me started on how he kept looking at me to talk about NYC. I am an upstater; I go to Montreal more than I go to the Big Apple). Not good interesting, not entirely bad interesting, just interesting.

+ Just bought my silver ticket to the Doctor Who Experience on Monday!! I get extras and a goody bag I think and I enter at 1.30 in the afternoon. I'm so excited!

I am currently deciding what I want to do for the rest of the day. What I should do is go to my Arabic class (which is boring); what I want to do is curl up and read all day. (Don't worry, it's mostly for class.)
