So... Harry Potter

That's right. I saw the Deathly Hallows English-style. I soon discovered that this isn't entirely different from American-style, aside from the lack of midnight showings. Instead my flat mates and I enjoyed a leisurely 7:45 p.m. movie in a giant, slightly-cramped theater.

Also, I dressed up.

Aren't I cute?

This requires particular attention. I am not, in fact, a muggle, but a wizard dressed up as a muggle. (Hence the wand.) Though in actuality, I am a muggle dressed up as a wizard dressed up as a muggle. The irony was completely missed by Britons, however, and I was largely regarded as "lame" for my poor muggle costume.

But the skirt made everything okay.

Oh, and I guess the movie was good, too. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yours,

In other news...

WELL we're going to Manchester tomorrow. The internet has decided to bless me with its presence, so I decided to update you guys whilst it is here. Tomorrow is only a day trip, and we'll be back late in the evening. I'm not entirely sure which places we'll be visiting yet. Nonetheless, I'm sure there will be lots of photos for your viewing pleasure.

Also, I'm in the library right now, procrastinating. Here's a video!

If you look closely, you can see James Patterson staring back at you.

Well that's about it, really. This past week was "reading week", so we didn't have any classes. Normally this would have aided my essay-writing efforts. But because I've already done mine, I just ate fruit, slept, and read Little Women all day. Yay!

Okay. More soon (knock on wood):

I provided this visual just in case.

Yours,

Also,

The roommates rejoice upon Aaron Rosell's return from the states. Here is their story:

To pillow head...

Or not to pillow head...

This isn't amateur hour.

ANYWAY. (It's always fun and games around here.)

Sick update: Went to health services today. Was told to get some cough drops and suck it up. (No pun intended?) Not really. I did get some cough drops though because they WERE SO CHEAP WOOT.

In other news, I'll be going to Bath and Stonehenge this weekend with the group. Until then, I think I'll send some letters! Just some postcards to my friends at school and the fam, but if you want one, SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS YO. Also, I has a pen pal now and I gotta find some cool paper.

More soon!

Yours in sickness,
