I'm still alive

YAY for the internet!!! This is the first time my internet has worked in the past week. It is such a mess, and it really messes things up for me since all my homework has to be submitted online. Anyways, I don't even remember where I left off last. Scotland was a lot of fun. I really liked the highlands. They were so beautiful. We also went on a ghost tour which was pretty cool. York was alright. I think people built it up too much for me so I was rather disappointed when we got there. The ride home was rediculous! It took soo long to get home. We had to take a series of buses and trains that seemed never ending...kind of like our ride home tonight, I'll get to that later. So let's see, after our weekend in Scotland and York we had a regular week of classes. Monday night we went to see Chicago. It was great. Tuesday night we all hung out around the dorm and then went to this place called the Ice Bar. It was really cool. The whole thing is made of ice and you have to wear a blue parka. The glasses were cool because they were made out of ice. I don't know, it was fun. Wednesday we went to see Into the Hoods, which was AMAZING. I absolutley LOVED it. It was a hip-hop show that was simply A-M-A-ZING. Last night a bunch of us just hung out and went to a pub near us called the Rocket. It is such a small world. So get this, we met these guys at the hostel we were staying at in Scotland, they were both from Australia and one is now living in south london. Anyways, we get to the Rocket and these other guys come over to play cards with us and it turns out they live like 10 minutes away from my friend Krysta. This other guy with them is from Buffalo and their other friend is from Australia and who else do we see at the Rocket but the two australians from scotland who, turns out, live 2 minutes away from the other australian. I'm not sure any of that made sense, but it all comes down to EVERYONE was at the Rocket last night. haha. This morning we slept in until about 9:00 and then we headed to Paddington station to catch a train to Oxford. Four of us went so we got a 'group' rate of 9.50 for a return ticket. The ride out was nice and only about an hour and a half. We spent the afternoon wandering around Oxford, taking pictures, and shopping. It was nice to not be on a strict schedule for a change and to be able to just wander around on our own pace. We were all a bit tired and the weather was deteriorating so we got on the train to come home. The ride back was not so short. We left at 5:20 and we got into the station at 7:00. We stopped at pretty much EVERY station between Oxford and London. Then there were problems on the underground so we had to wait another 45 minutes before the tube even came. Then we got on only to have it break down so we needed to change to another train and then walk back to the dorm. It wasn't that bad, it just took forever. Tonight we're just taking it easy. Some people are out of town for the weekend. I'm working on putting more picutres online. Definitely check them out. I think I'm going to head down to the common room to watch Across the Universe with some people. Hopefully this week I'll have the internet again so I can keep this thing updated.
