Class and Sherlock

Today was pretty chill. This morning I had British Life and Culture. We talked about war......and what it's good for. I'm sorry, I had to do it. After class, Becky, Mitch and I went to Pret for some lunch. And I headed back to Metrogate for a bit before heading off to Crime Fiction. Class was good and we got a new book to read over break. That should keep me busy while I'm on the train. After class, Mallory and I watched the 3rd series of Sherlock all the way through and it was very emotional and fantastic. About halfway through we ran out to get some dinner. We got take away from the Italian place on the corner of our street. It was apparently one of Princess Diana's favorite places to eat. We both ate gnocchi and it was delicious. I probably should have been working on my midterms but I still have plenty of time and I'm not too stressed. I also have a lot of time tomorrow that I am devoting completely to writing my essays.

Well that was it. It was a pretty uneventful day but it was a good one.

Oh! I completely forgot to mention the weather! It has been raining like crazy here. And today, it started pouring and there were hurricane force winds on the coast. Walking to class was miserable. Because o f this, there has been a lot of flooding here. London is in the south eastern part of the country so we have been fine but the south and west coasts have been flooded really badly. It hasn't really been too bad for us but Jill and I are travelling this weekend by train and it has the potential to be a disaster. The town in Wales we are going to looks fine but it is on the coast so there is a possibility it could be flooded. We aren't too worried about that. What we are worried about is our travel. We are taking the train to Wales and a lot of the trains have been cancelled because the lines are flooded. Right now, everything looks ok. We have been stressed by our train that gets us back in to London on Monday. It's at 2 am and those odd times are the ones that are getting cancelled. And our plane leaves for Scotland Monday at about 4pm. So, please keep your fingers crossed for us and we will hopefully be alright. If anyone is interested, HERE  is a article by BBC that talks about all of the flooding. (On the map, we start in London and head straight west and a smidge north until we hit ocean)
