Pancakes ≠ Pancakes

Today was another quiet day. My dorm had a fire drill at 12:30 am (about 20 minutes AFTER I went to bed) which was not exciting. It's the scariest fire alarm I've ever heard. It makes terrible noises, and then it yells at me in English as well as Welsh. I was outside in no time, which is good, because they time us. We have to make it out in under 3 minutes, or they will do another fire drill, some other random time. Luckily, we got out in 2.5 minutes. There will be no more drills :)

The fire drill made me a little crabby, considering that I stood in the cold for about 20 minutes while they checked our hall for people. I woke up this morning, feeling like I hadn't slept at all. I went to my Sociology class at 11, and while I enjoy it, it's kind of hard to stay awake. My professor is a little monotonous, and his lectures aren't exactly exciting. I need to make sure I sleep more before my Tuesday classes! After class, Melisa and I did our weekly grocery shopping, and had lunch.

At 4, we met the other three girls at Bar Uno to figure out hostels for our spring break. That sucked! We spent two hours looking up places to stay in ONE city. It was really complicated, and we want good deals, but we want decent lodgings too. Sorting through all the reviews and prices got a little overwhelming. We are meeting again tomorrow to figure out lodging in the other cities, and I think we plan to be a little bit more organized this time.

Melisa and I made pancakes for dinner. At least, that's what they are called. We bought something simple, where you just add water. Betty Crocker, I thought you knew what pancakes were! Wrong. Melisa says these were more like crepes. They were ok, just really thin and a different texture than pancakes. Not my favorite, and definitely not what I was expecting. So I've learned that pancakes here are not the same as pancakes at home. 

I actually did some homework today :) For my psych class, we've been discussing the different parts of the assignment, and our professor mentioned that we could probably find information for the page that defines obesity. I'm not sure if that means that he expects us to, and that he'll look at it, or if it was just a suggestion. But I gathered enough information for a page. I didn't really organize it, as I know I won't be graded for it. I did think it would be good if I actually did work though!

I'm off to bed now, so I can get up and go work out in the morning. I'm trying to establish a regular sleep schedule, and that means I have to be in bed before 1 every night. Hopefully that will make it easier to sleep :)
