Happy Birthday, Grandmother! :D

Today's my Grandmother's birthday!
This is my 21st post and I had one before I left, so I've been here for 20 days. It feels like it's been longer.
For the past couple of posts, I've been saying that I didn't really do anything that day. Well, today I really didn't do anything.
I got to sleep in - yay! :] After that, I listened to music, wrote, read, played sudoku or any combination thereof. Usualy it was music with one of the other three :]
I got a pretty good start on my research paper outline. We need to have a finalised version of the outline and title by next Wednesday, so going to the library again on Monday should help. In addition to the school work, I also wrote more on various stories that are swimming around in my head. It can get kinda confusing when a Harry Potter character and a cop are trying to get my attention at the same time ;D
Around midafternoon, I decided to walk over to the bookstore (I didn't take any money - I was thinking ahead ;] ). I found about 10 books that I want to read - I really need to start saving up for a Kindle. Then I can get five books and not have to lug them home, like I'll have to with the three that I've gotten here already :]
I read School for Scandal today. I like the play, even though the production we saw was odd. I'm debating whether I want to read another of Sheridan's plays this weekend or King Richard III. Another Sheridan play is winning out - it's a much smaller book than the Shakespeare one to take on the trip.
Speaking of the trip, we're leaving at 7.30 tomorrow morning, and I still need to pack. That means that Monday is the 4th of July. It's kinda wierd, being in England and not having the fortnight of hype and sales on food for a picnic. There's a restaurant down the street that does BBQ - Nicole and I were thinking about going there for dinner.
Nadal is going to be playing Djokovic in the Wimbledon Final on Sunday. That's going to be a good match - a couple of the people going on the weekend trip have said that we're going to need to find a sports bar in Bath to watch it. I read an article saying that when Djokovic won he clinched a spot in the final match and the No. 1 seed for next year. Nicole and I are wondering how that works, but neither of us really know how seeding works so I guess we'll just leave it to the experts :]
Hopefully I'll be able to post tomorrow night, if not I'll have two to put up on Sunday.
Till then,
-Carlito
