Planning week

Well, this was a very exciting week for me, but won't make for a very exciting blog entry, really. On Monday I handed in my second to last assignment for the taught part of my course. It was one of the hardest ever to write papers, but it's done now, so I don't care. Now I just have my assemblage report to write and I will be done! Just the dissertation to work on. After the hand-in Stine, Melissa and I went to a coffee/juice bar called The Dancing Goat to get juice. We'd found the place a long time ago, but hadn't had time to get back there to actually buy anything. The juice was really good and the mini blueberry muffin was also delicious. We walked home from the juice bar and then I went shopping with my flatmate, Baitalikee, because we needed pizza making ingredients. Monday was her birthday and she wanted to make home-made pizzas. Later that afternoon I made her chocolate muffins with peanut butter cups in them for her cake. Then around 7 we started the pizza. Gareth, my other flatmate, got really into it and tried throwing the crust. He wasn't very good at it though. B really liked making the pizza dough, but wasn't such a fan of rolling it out, so I ended up doing a lot of rolling. But they turned out pretty good and I think she had a nice birthday.

Tuesday I didn't do a whole lot. I did plan a goth/emo going away party for Stine, who is going to Norway to excavate for 2 months. That is happening next Saturday and should be very fun. I also hosted Taco Tuesday because I really wanted Mexican food. The taco seasoning here isn't quite right, but it was better than nothing.

Then on Wednesday night I got a text from Sara saying that she had bought her ticket to London for our trip to Italy in July. So that was super exciting!!

Thursday I bought the tickets from Bournemouth to Pisa so our trip is a go! I'm so excited! Then after lunch I went to Bournemouth with Stine to go to the costume shop to look for costumes for the party. I got a red corset with black lace. It is amazingly hard to breathe in, but Stine assures me it will get easier if I wear it around my room a few times before the part to get used to it. We'll see. If I pass out at the party, we'll know that didn't work :) Then Thursday late afternoon I went to the train station with Danielle to book our train tickets to Cardiff, Wales. We're going in early July for a few days while her friend from Canada is here. After we got the tickets we came back and booked the hotel. Then we looked at train tickets to Paris and found a good deal, so we booked those as well. We'll book the hotel next week. So that was really exciting. I'm going to Italy, France and Wales!

Friday I went to school to attempt to get some work done. I did get some done and have a much better idea of what I'm suppose to do for this assignment. So that's good. I just need to make a lot of tables so that I can do the comparisons and get the writing done. It shouldn't be too bad and I can hopefully get it done by Friday so that I don't have to worry about it over the weekend.

Saturday I went to the gym in the morning and then went to another grocery store looking for coffee flavouring syrup. They didn't have it, but another store had a really cute pair of shoes that I got. Then I came home and got a bit of dissertation preliminary work done for my meeting with Mark on Tuesday.

This morning I had an email from Mom that she and Dad got their tickets to come and visit last night, so they'll be coming at the end of July. So all in all it was a very exciting week for me, but the weeks that I actually take these trips will be much more exciting blog entries. Well, take care and I hope to hear from you soon.
