You're in your head; you're all turned around

I am officially finished with my first week of London classes! True, I only went to three classes this week and dropped one, but still! I feel accomplished! My final schedule, after a bit of shifting, looks like this:

Tuesday: 11-1 Studies in Travel Writing; 2-4 Cognitive Psych
Wednesday: 10-11 Psychobiology and Clinical Neuroscience (seminar); 11:30-1 (lecture)
Thursday: 11-1 London Theatre in Performance

So I have a four-day weekend! For to go a-travelin'! Speaking of, I found a flight to Ireland on RyanAir for a penny. For reals. I mean, their rates change really rapidly, so probably an hour after I saw that it went up a few more pennies, but still. I also have a free place to stay in Ireland, because I recently just reconnected with an old friend from elementary school, who moved there in 5th grade. I told her I was here and she invited me to come visit! Anytime I want! So, guess who's goin' to Ireland! I haven't decided when, exactly, but probably mid-November-ish?

Tomorrow morning I'm leaving for an overnight trip to Wales with the Study Abroad and Exchange Social Programme (they really should learn to spell "program"...). We're going to a Roman amphitheatre, a castle (I LOVE castles!) and, of course, a museum. Also, we'll be near Cardiff, where many a Doctor Who episode has taken place, so I'm sure the entire time I'll be thinking geeky thoughts. At night we're pubbing and clubbing, as per usual.... Apparently on Sunday, fully adorned with helmets and flashlights, we're going down into a mining pit, but I'm going to see if there's a way I can opt out of that one, as giant underground caverns terrify me just a little bit. Especially when said cavern has 90+ people in it.

Suddenly I am both freezing and starving, so I feel compelled to remedy both. Perhaps I'll wrap myself in a sandwich and eat a sweater! (Oh lord I'm such a nerd.)

  1. I WANT PICTURES FROM (NEAR) CARDIFF.

    Also, I met someone who knows your mom. I gave her a tour of the greenhouse today. Her name was... Oakes. Her last name. It made me think of the speech accent archive entry for "oak" from North Carolina. The really ridiculous one that we shared a laugh over.

    Who is the nerd NOW?!?!?!
