My third day without classes, due to my English class being canceled. I still went to campus though! Spent time in the library, some of it socializing, but most of it doing work on Art History. Then I went shopping with Kate, Steph, and James. It was quite a success! I got wrapping paper for Christmas and the most delicious milkshake ever. A Reese's peanut butter cup milkshake. I wish we had that milkshake chain in the states. In fact, I really wish I could just take City Center home with me, so many neat shops.
Tonight I went to Beaumont Bar to have a drink with the gang in honour of it being Steph's birthday tomorrow. While having a drink, I had a new experience. I heard an English white boy cover Jimi Hendrix on an acoustic guitar. It almost worked, almost.
I'm beginning to read Middlemarch by George Eliot. It's going to be a piece, but I already like it. It makes an interesting comparison to reading Austen.

Wow. You seem to be really cranked about Christmas. I wish now that we had taken that walk to the City Centre (is it -er or -re?). It sounds like a cool place.
Natashia scored a NY Times for me. It's the only copy of the post-election issue that I've seen. It's already worth oodles, and in 50 years it may be priceless. For now, I simply want to frame it.
About that student who thought the American elections would be next June: I wonder if he was thinking about UK elections. They call elections whenever it seems appropriate, and there have been some conjectures that it will happen next June. Brown isn't very popular -- the financial meltdown has injured his party.
I suspect there was only ONE Jimi Hendrix. But it's nice to see the flow of culture from the States to the UK.
Cheers, l, k
Your reading is so much more exciting than mine. Let me know how Middlemarch is; I've heard good things.
Also, I've been having lots of reeses lately-that milkshake sounds fabulous.
George and Gina and Jeffrey send their love. We miss you.
