Bulletin Board.

Haiku-a-day:

Mar 31st
A note tacked to cork,
multiplied and rearranged,
gives onlookers joy.

Here is my wall of wonder.  It contains ticket stubs, maps, letters from friends, pictures, notes from my siblings, and my Harry Potter stamps.  (See if you can spot them!)  This wall serves as a reminder of all the awesome people I'll get to see when I return home in July.





     My mom arrived in Leeds, England today!  After my last class of the week (2 1/2 hours of presentations), I headed out and picked her up from her hostel.  We got lunch, walked around the Student Union a bit, and headed to my flat.  From there, we planned out our time in Paris, France!  We even bought tickets for a night cruise along the river Seine!  Even better, this cruise includes dinner!
    After we finished our planning, we went back to the Union to eat dinner at the Old Bar, a restaurant that serves great fish 'n chips (or so I hear, I'm not a big fan of fish).
    Now she's back at her hostel and I am procrastinating on finishing my essay.  I really should get it done.  Why is 800 words so intimidating?  Or maybe it's not the writing of the essay that is the problem, but rather the act of getting myself to start writing in the first place?!

     By the way, I've just realized that on beginning Saturday, I'll be computer-less for an entire month!  The last time I didn't have internet for a month (which is nearly the same thing) was 2 years ago.  This is going to be such a weird feeling!!  I'll be so...disconnected!

Here is a picture of the meal I had the first time I tried my home-brewed beer.  I thought chicken and veggies would be a good complement to Monkey Head.

  1. Megan: I'll miss reading your posts! I think it will be kind if nice to be disconnected for a month. I would like to do that, but it's the kind of thing that needs to be forced on you, not self-imposed, I think. Anyway, have an AWESOME spring break! You are so lucky to have a month off and to get to do so much traveling! I can't wait to hear all about it! Miss you!

  2. Thanks Emily! I will definitely miss my computer. For the last three months, it's also been my improvised TV and movie theater! I think I made up for missing some nice TV time by watching 3 episodes of Community with my mom as well as 2 episodes of Whose Line is It Anyway?! We just relaxed and took a nap!
