the course of a lifetime

ahh...Sunday nights

I've always hated Sunday nights. I think it stems from the dread of going to school on Monday...even though I don't have class on Mondays. I still find them depressing. I spent most of the day today hanging out with Jamie (a girl from New York who is my only friend). We went shopping for an alarm clock and she ended up having to buy a barbie pink one. That's what I learned today. British people have a problem with alarm clocks. They aren't in any hotel rooms and they are very difficult to find in the stores. Actually there seems to be a general clock shortage. If you come, bring a watch. Anyway, after that we went to her boyfriend's flat. He's English and very nice. They actually met over the internet and get along very well. He starts every sentence with "basically" and ends every sentence with "yeah?" We ate lunch and then hung out with him where he works at a video game shop. We played game cube games for a couple of hours with some of his friends and then I rode the bus home.

Last night Jamie and I went to Pizza Hut (I know...how stupid is it to go to Pizza Hut when you're in England?) and then to a movie. The theatre is brand new and has like 12 screens. It's the biggest theatre I've ever seen. It even has a bar and tables to sit at. The seats are huge with lots of room to strech out. We saw The Terminal (13 USD for one person) and I basically liked it even though it was a bit too feel good and unrealistic. It was much better than Collateral or Euro Trip, which are the only two new movies I've seen in the last couple of months. They were both plain bad.

One more day until class starts and the nerves are starting to kick in. Most of the people in my program are like 30+ years old and I'm not sure how I'll fit in. I guess we'll see!

I love and miss everyone!
