Bright, sunshiny days.

Surprisingly enough, having no class today made it...just like any other day. Hmm. I stayed up quite late last night, partially because I haven't been sleeping well, and partially because I knew I had no class, and I wanted to talk to everyone. I miss everyone!

I slept in until about 1:20...success :) I've been trying to sleep in lately, and just failing. I'm glad I was able to waste the early hours of the day sleeping :) Melisa and I had a late lunch, and then hung out until she had to go to class. Before her class, we went to the library to print our papers. I printed both my psych paper and my sociology paper. It took forever. Not kidding. It took me about 8 minutes to get the computer to log me in, and for everything to load. And then I couldn't get Internet Explorer to work. OMG. I am not a patient person, and waiting for the computer was painful. We had about 40 minutes to print stuff before Melisa's class started. She had to leave me because she had class, and I STILL WASN'T DONE. I did get it to work, though, and then I went and turned both of my papers in. It was quite exciting :)

It was SO nice out today. Sunny and warm. I keep forgetting my sunglasses when I go outside, because who really expects it to be super sunny in the UK? Definitely not me. I just wandered around squinting. I'm sure I looked funny, especially since I was feeling lazy today and I wore my sweatpants out. Ha. I think I've seen one person wearing sweatpants here, and she might have been an American. I find it kind of funny.

I spent the remainder of my afternoon REALLY cleaning my room. It makes me feel much better when my room is clean and organized. Then I went over to Melisa's room for dinner. We had pizza and watched some TV online.

After that, I just came back to my room and talked to people. I got to skype with Justine, and then my mom, which made me very happy :) I've been missing home a lot lately, but I know I'll miss Wales, so I've started a list of things that I will miss.

1) The mountains
2) The sea
3) Having my own room, with a private bathroom and shower.
4) Having endless amounts of free time.
5) Feeling very independent.
6) Drinking tea.
7) Making dinner each night (who knew I'd like that?)
8) Getting mail from home :) I get mail when I'm at Ripon, but it's not as great as the packages I've gotten while here.
9) Being able to hop on buses to just about anywhere, for just a few pounds.
10) Trivia nights!
11) The very moderate weather (which has been quite sunny as of late)

I'm sure there is more, but that's my list for today. I'm currently watching movies online, and I suppose I'll go to bed soon. I do have class tomorrow. Also, I'm hoping to see the Queen, because she'll be in Bangor. Details to come :)
