I was a little bit sick today, which was unfortunate because I am supposed to attend six hours of lectures on Thursdays. I made it through the first four, from one to five, but I skipped the session from six to eight. I feel bad, but it was my Spanish class which I’m not actually signed up for. I just decided I’m in it because I want to learn Spanish. I don’t get a grade or anything. I skipped because much of the class is interacting with other students and I was very sniffly and sneezy, so I thought it would be a very unpleasant two hours. Hopefully, my sickness will go away tonight. It has subsided a little bit, so I am hopeful.
I met some more British people tonight. There sure are a lot of them in this country, I don’t know why. One of the people I met had a jacket with a flashy logo which said, ‘California.’ California is treated like a mythical land over here. I told a girl tonight I was from Oregon, and she said, “Oh, is that on the east coast?” but she knew exactly where it was when I said it was directly above California. Almost all of them have plans to visit California, and some of them wonder why I would ever leave such a wonderful place. I laugh and tell them I’m beginning to wonder myself; but I am enjoying myself here. I hope to travel to the Netherlands in a couple weeks. Next weekend (not this coming one, but the one after), I’m going to Stonehenge with USC for a day. My flatmate is pretty keen on traveling as well, so I’m sure we’ll make some weekend trips to various places around Europe.
Ermm….I’m supposed to end with something witty….I’m sorry, I’ve got nothing.
