I have had all my classes
I have had all of my classes now. I have a lot of work to do. Lots of reading and writing and research. I am not going anywhere tonight because I want to finish all my reading now, work on the topic I am going to write on tomorrow at the library and write my paper either tomorrow or thursday so that my weekend is completely free. Then I can edit my papers on monday and hand them in on tuesday. This is my plan... plans can change but this is my plan. I have to re read Gawain and the Green Knight and re read Geoffrey of Monmouth tonight or tomorrow. I haven't gotten many new pictures because i really haven't had time to go anywhere. I did take a picture of the four drops of rain that we got today. That is really the only rain we've had. I wish that I had listened to Shannon and not Mom and brought all long pants and my other long sleeved shirts. It is really cold here- maybe 60 degrees or so and a little windy. Oh well, just more stuff I have to buy. I haven't spent that much yet, maybe 115 pounds or so. Most of that was one time stuff like the bus fare, the clock radio and books (although the books will not be just a one time thing). I have spent some on food and stuff though. I have been trying to keep in mind the exchange rate's sucky-ness by doubling every price I see. If it still is worth it, it is ok. Most of the coffee is really overpriced but I need it anyway. The coffee at Oxford SUCKS! It is burnt to a crisp. There is an american style cafe just down on the corner that has decent coffee but highish prices. Kinda like Greens Beans prices or any coffee house micro roasting place. The pubs are pretty expensive too. L4 for a mixed drink isn't uncommon. I have been drinking either Guiness, Stella or hard cider so they are anywhere from L2-L3. My keyboard is not set up for the pounds symbol but it is really annoying me. I can't type on the British keyboards because everything is moved around. You'd be surprised how many times you use the left hand shift, and the @ " and return keys. All of these and a few others are in a weird location on the British keyboard. Paper size is also different but that is easy to fix. I should get to reading now. I will post later.
