If you actually look like your passport photo, you aren't well enough to travel.

- Sir Vivian Fuchs. That quote was on one of the pages I wrote on today in my journal. I enjoyed it, I was laughing pretty good :D

You can definitely tell when it's 10.15 on a Sunday morning here - the church bells start ringing and go on for 15 minutes.
It was raining again today, so no adventures on King's Road for me. I think God is trying to tell me something... It was raining pretty good at times too - it's been a while since I've just sat and listened to the rain. It's relaxing :]
I wrote some more in my paper, but I am one of the world's worst procrastinators so I haven't finished it. Looks like I know what I'll be doing tomorrow O.o
But then I got to skype with my mom and dad. I know I say this every time, but I like talking to them and I can't wait till they join me out here :D Ricky wasn't there again, but he's at Sandblast - a church retreat - so I guess that's an acceptable excuse ;D
They told me that they went on a road trip to Indianapolis to get a car forme to use at school. It seemed a long way to go for a car, but apparently it's a dealer that my mom has worked with so they trust them. That seems like a good reason, especially since I'm going to be using the car a lot, so I'd like to have it work :]
The kitchen is almost gone - it's going to be weird when I go back, the family room will be different as well. Should be interesting to see :]
Normally when we talk on skype, we have to choose whether we want the audio or video aspect of the call. Well, today we actually had a call where both of them (mostly) worked the entire time! It was rather exciting.
Nicole and her mom came by this afternoon to drop off some of Nicole's things and pack up souveneirs for her mom to take home. I, on the other hand, may or may not wind up needing to ship a box home...
It was nice to meet her mom, though, she was cool.
Then it was time for the women's world cup final. The common rooms in this building alternate between study rooms and more lounge-type rooms. The one on my floor is a study room, so I went up a floor to find a tv to watch the match. I met some people who aren't in IES - they just got here and tomorrow they start a month-long programme on Shakespeare. I was able to help them with some things in the ares - like Cafe Nero is cheaper than Pret and the District and Circle lines aren't going to be operating on a section of track from next week till sometime in August. I felt proud of myself, and glad I could help a little :D
Oh my gosh, that match was so intense! I was watching with an Indian guy and an American girl, and we all got so drawn into it. It was crazy! Unfortunately the USA lost - in penalty kicks too. Blast.
Well, I had hoped to get to sleep earlier tonight, so much for that. Back to class tomorrow - the last full week. Where did all the time go??
Till then,
