Day 66
Mood: Relieved and yet still a little nervous
Weather: Beautiful, a bit rainy, but the perfect temperature
I hate the way you hand in assignments here. You have to put them in a box, a drop box. With a paperclip. Awesome. Plus I get all worried about the pages being lost etc. even though I did look over all of them and handed it in to the right drop box.
That's the funny thing about my memory. Sometimes I completely forget doing something and then I stress about it forever afterward. Did I lock the door when I left? Did I leave the oven on? Did I have all the pages?
I hope so. It's about all I can do.
=_=
But beyond that things are going really well~ I feel full of energy and really excited. One assignment done, the one that was the hardest, and now I can move on and really enjoy my time here. I've got some things I'd like to do over the break and I'm planning a visit to some family friends. Plus Easter is this weekend and that means the new Doctor Who episode.
Whee~~
And my birthday is coming up in less than a month! Also super awesome!!

March 15/2010 :: Nothing much
Day 52
Mood: Working hard!
Weather: Sunny and gorgeous!
Word of the Day: Research
My goodness I have not blogged in a while. I apologize. But unfortunately not much has been going on. My traveling excursions have slowed greatly due to the dreaded Homework. Homework has devoured up my time and my soul. It's rather unfortunate actually.
I go out around Oxford, of course, but nothing truly interesting.
4 Big assignments due in the next two weeks. When they're done we'll get more info!

February 12/2010 :: Congestion and Chips
Day 21
Mood: Sick (congested, sore throat and a nasty cough)
Weather: It rained for about 2 minutes, hailed for about 30 seconds and then flip flopped between cloudy and nice and sunny
Word of the Day: *insert coughing noise*
Whoops...a whole week went by didn't it. My bad. Let's go through a quick recap of my week.
Sunday Evening: Super bowl party, tons of fun with pizza chips and several people over. South Carolina came over as well as Cali (from California). It was loads of fun sitting in Etsy's big room and watching a computer screen.
Monday: woke up nicely to go to class. Class was about 'Britishness'. I informed the class (as we discussed the positive and negative attributes of British culture) that British people don't smile at strangers. They looked at me as if to say: "What kind of nutter smiles at strangers?" So I informed them that in Canada if you happen to make random eye contact with a stranger you smile politely and they return the smile. No words are said but you continue walking with a smile. I also came to the startling position that I knew more than the class about their own culture. I knew who was on the £5 and £20 notes as well as their historical significance. (Elizabeth Fry is on the 5, I learned last semester in a class at home that she's the mother of prison reform in female prisons // Adam Smith, the father of capitalism is on the 20). I felt quite proud.
Tuesday: Did absolutely nothing. Save homework. Went to bed at 9:00, couldn't help it...I've been staying up until 1-2 am in order to talk to people from home.
Wednesday: Woke up bright and early feeling awesome but my throat a little ticklish. Had my class about Poverty and Welfare and Professor made creepy eyecontact with me. I was a tad intimidated.
Thursday: Woke up with a sore throat and super congestion. Lovely. I know what that tends to mean, that means a cold is coming on. I went to my morning class where, during the seminar which is based on participation, the professor allowed no one to speak but himself. Then I had my evening class and am determined to rock that performance my group has next week. The ones this week were monotonous, amazingly dull, drawn out as well as performed by people who couldn't engage their audience (or raise their voice to an audible level). I'm going to work on my group...or at least rock my portion. We meet this Monday to discuss. Thursday evening meant breaking open a bottle of cider and we watched a movie, it was hilarious.
Friday: Went shopping with the roomies and Hamilton. Bought a new purse for an astounding £6! I also picked up my sister a little gift but I'm not going to spill. *gleeful smile* It's just a small little thing but I just know that she'll love it. And in the spirit of our childhood I'll offer a hint. [[When we were kids my sisters used to ask me for hints about their gifts. I, being the ridiculous person that I am, would give the most cryptic hints ever. I once got Momo a Spongebob t-shirt, I gave her the hint that there was red somewhere on it. His little tie was red.]]
So, my most darling sister Oblivious your hint is thus: The item is pink.
Came home, did some laundry and then proceeded to settle down to sniffle away. My cold is worse today in the sinus department but my throat isn't really sore...save for the continuous coughing. But I'll handle it!!
The roomies went to a movie, Valentine's Day, and when they get back we're going to the pub.

February 3/2010 :: Classes Begin
Day 12
Mood: Sleepy
Weather: Dark (it's nighttime)
Word of the Day: "Homework"
Not much is going on.
Sorry.
XD
Classes have started so I'm busy doing that. I had a seminar tonight about the English empire. They mentioned Canada. I felt happy. It's late and I should be getting to bed but I thought I'd update with a little bit of what's going on.
Basically not much.
