Ring the Alarm

Looking back now, yesterday was quite eventful.  I was thinking about it and yesterday feels like ages ago!

I had just 2 classes yesterday.  A Gender and Women's Studies lecture at 1pm, and then a Creative Writing seminar (discussion) at 3pm.  I felt a little guilty for being so tired during my first class.  I started to do that thing where you catch yourself drifting off and wake yourself up.  I don't even now if my notes are legible...I'm too scared to check.

Creative Writing is the one class I was really excited for!  I went and it was a smaller group of students.  The professor seems really nice too.  She hates American rom-coms just as much as I do!  Haha.  Although, I have to admit that I like watching them every once in a while.  I met some friends in that class. I think I've got most of their names down too.  I sat next to Tom who seemed pretty excited about me being American.  He said he could tell.  Hee.  He wanted to be Facebook friends, but I couldn't find him.

After class, I came back to do...absolutely nothing.  Honestly, I don't even know what I was doing in my room for the next few hours.  I just remember Greg coming to my door asking if I wanted to go to the Beer and Ale Society meeting with him.  Heck yes!  He and Shaun went first to meet up with Jack at County Bar (it's on the north side of campus), and Jude and I waited for Carolyn to get ready.

When we got there, there were a lot of people, but most of them were guys.  I think, now, I want to join just because of that fact.  Because ladies can drink too.

The flatmates + Jack started walking back because the society was moving their party to the Grad Bar (it's past Grizedale, on the far south side of campus).  Carolyn, Jude, and I decided we wanted to get work done at the library.  We were there reading for a while...maybe an hour and half?  But I started drifting off into sleep again.  I don't know how much of my reading I have actually retained, but I'll find out tonight!

The library was funny.  I was sitting in the reading room at a desk, when Jude turns around and tells me that there's going to be a loud alarm in about 3 minutes.  He tells me he just wanted to let me know, and not to freak out because it's loud and it can be scary the first time.  Haha.  So we didn't tell Carolyn and this loud voice comes out from the speakers letting the whole world know that the library was going to close in half an hour.  I had quite a good laugh.

Today, I slept in till 11:30am, got dressed, and went into town with Carolyn.  We went and did some shopping, and got groceries.  Ahhh...they have Topshop here and I nearly died.  I just wanted to buy everything.  There was this other store, River Island, that had a 10% discount for students.  Gah.  I wish I had a million pounds just to shop.  I ended up just buying a pair of earrings and a necklace from this store called Accessorize (and with the student discount, the necklace was basically free!), and then another pair of earrings at Claire's plus a ring.

We got back at around 5pm, so we spent a good part of the day out and about.  It was really nice! :)

Now, I'm in my room, everyone is quiet (studying, I think?), except outside I can hear all these people yelling at the bar.  Hehe.  It's fun.  I wish I could join them, but I should really work on my short story/creative writing piece and my assignment for my Global Identity class that I'm taking through the U.  Today was a nice day off, but tomorrow I only have 1 class (Creative Writing lecture) at 1pm, and then I have to go to the rescheduled showing of that movie, Adaptation, that we didn't get to see on Monday.  I wonder if the professor wanted me to take care of that?  I guess that means I have one more thing to do on my list of things to do tonight.  Busy, busy, busy...I hope everyone is well!

Oh, and for anyone reading this...you should comment!  It's nice hearing from you, and it's motivating for me if I have people who are actually interested in what's going on over here.  Anyone should be able to comment, even just anonymously.  So pass it along!

Cheers! :)
