GRAPES!

Grapes from Egypt rock! I went to Sainsburry this morning with Lauren. The fact that the bus costs 3pounds is really starting to annoy me. It's adding up. I should have gotten a weekly pass for last week, but it's too late now. Anywho, at the store I got some soup with poptops (our can opener here is evil and does not work) and fruit and granola bars. Yummm. I also got some Indian food which I ate for Lunch and dinner. It was the best thing I've had since I've been here. I really wish that I had gotten to eat when I was in London. Oh well... There will be other times. For now I'm just happy that I have some fruit to eat. They package everything so cute over here. The grapes I am eating are in this little carton and it says "one of your five a day". It's adorable.

We watched a terrible movie in class today. It was called "The Smell Of Success." Yeah.. terrible. I hope the movies get better in class because today seemed like a waste of time. But there was one great quote. I wrote it down.. *searches through notebook* "You're selling me fish thats 4 days old. I DON'T BUY IT!" hahaha. That was the highlight of the movie.

I am sooo excited for Wednesday! I have my class from 1-3. Then at 6:30 we are heading to a concert!!! We're seeing The Hold Steady, who is one of the bands my teacher represents. He is don't a darn good job of getting them big here. haha. I was flipping through music mags and I saw like 5 articles on them in 3 magazines. They are also playing at this big festival with a good spot in the lineup. I really hope the show is fun. I think it will be because a lot of my friends are in the class and it's like a huge field-trip. I got new batteries for my camera so I'll be sure to take pictures too. Eee. I'm excited.

Paris is this Thursday too. Woo Hoo. It's going to be a busy week. Tomorrow I need to work on my projects a lot so that I don't have to worry so much over this weekend. I'm excited to eat crepes and amazing chocolate in Brussels. I don't know if I will get a chance to blog while I am there, unless I stop in an internet cafe. We'll see.

As for the being stranded in Ireland thing, I think I figured it out. I'm pretty sure I am just going to stay in Dublin the whole time instead of going down to Cork. That way I can fly out of Dublin into Gatwick at a reasonable time, for not too much money. We'll see.

Everyone is starting to get sick. It scares me. I've been trying to go bed at a decent time and get back on a normal schedule. I also bought these multivitamins but when I opened the package, they were HUGE! There is no way I could swallow them. I have issues with tiny pills, so I've pretty much given up on these ones. I'm hoping that fruit will come to the rescue and protect me. Fruit and sleep- My two favorite things here (other than my umbrella and digital camera.. which are necessities).

Okay. Time to read and sleep! Good Night!

and Happy Birthday to Anthony in 10 minutes!
