So, lecture failed to happen today. This means I went to bed early for nothing. foo.

Tomorrow I definitely have class at 9 AM (which means I should definitely be asleep right now). Yes, 9-10:30, followed by a super extra long 12-2 class. I have no idea why they made that one an extra half hour longer, and no idea why that class goes on a week longer than all my other classes. I also have no idea who is teaching it now since the schedule lists no less than four professors. I suppose I will find out.

Hopefully my first class will tell me that the Monday lecture that didn't happen this week will never happen again, thus reducing me to one class on Monday, one on Wednesday, and two on Friday. Not that I need more free time, but just so that I don't have to wake up.

I took a walk after my not-class. Ended up at Tesco where I bought breakfast foods and cheese that does not taste like a crayon, also known as double Gloucester, which I can not eat without thinking of Richard III and King Lear, so that I'm either thinking of money or punctured eyeballs as I munch on my cheese. Whichever.

Speaking of Shakespeare, I am continually surprised at the English peoples' lack of knowledge regarding the bard. The latest example of this (and there have been several) has been the instructor for Oulipo not knowing where the "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" passage came from. None of the class knew either... except me! Shame on you Britain.

Ok that's all I've got for today. Tune in tomorrow for... well... more of the same : P

I am enjoying my vacation thoroughly, I assure you.

English winters are to my liking

Really pretty day today. It was in the 50s and sunny. Windy, yeah, but that's not so bad as long as you don't wear a hat : P I had some soup for lunch and went out grocery shopping. I bought some interesting cheese.

When I got back I went for a short walk, just around the campus squares and around the library because it was so nice. When I got back again, I finished my reading for tomorrow and some of the reading for Thursday and pretty much wasted the rest of the time reading webcomics. For dinner I put my interesting cheese on my ordinary pasta and it was delicious.

Some writing also occured, of the fun but useless kind.

Basically, it was an uneventful, but nice, kind of day
