Well, so yesterday we were treated with a really nice lunch of fish pie and chocolate cheesecake. Our fellow student also took us on a sightseeing tour around the areas here. Faversham seemed really nice, maybe we'll have to pay it another visit?There were a lot of sheep everywhere, and we also made a quick stop at an really old, lovely church. Speaking of that I haven't gotten around visiting the Canterbury Cathedral yet, I've heard it's truly stunning.Today I had a short workshop about researching for and writing academic essays, so I guess it's time to get around to writing mine. I think it will be about Minimalism. The funny thing is, that after the lecture on said subject both me and Roomie had been thinking about picking the exact same subject and essay question, so now we're essay rivals. Very serious rivals, yes.I got a wonderful surprise package from mom, it was filled with chocolate! Accurately enough, it arrived just a few days after I'd eaten the last of my Finnish milk chocolate. I was so happy. I didn't even see when it came, because I was over at my neighbours' for an interview-excercise the neighbour needed help with.Moral of the story: Everyone, send nice packages to me by mail. Everyone loves packages.
Sorry, but I really need to go to sleep now. Proper post tomorrow instead, I hope.
(Charming fellow, I know.)Went on an evening stroll to the city to watch the fireworks and spend time with friends. Some of our neighbours have been practicing for a week, yesterday it sounded like a battlefield out there. We're invited over to a fellow student's place for lunch tomorrow, I think it is bound to be a pleasant experience.Good night, and happy Guy Fawkes.
Actually started painting in the studio today. Suddenly came up with this idea about how the change of seasons goes (and what they look like), think it would be nice to make some work around that (such an original subject, I know). The coolest thing would be to create an animation about it, but it would probably take me five years to complete. Still. . .
Believe it or not, I actually went swimming today! Swam 1,5 kilometers, hey, wow, I'm an athlete! Was checking out one of the places to swim here in Canterbury, I'm thinking about getting a membership there. The showers were warm, so that's a big plus.It was quite different from the places I've been to back in Finland. The changing room was unisex, and had small individual booths and lockers. Also, the keys were to be fastened to the swimsuit with a safety-pin. I've never seen a system like that. There's also saunas in the Finnish bath-houses. . . oh well, you can't get everything, can you? (:My arms will be spaghetti tomorrow.
Laalilaadadaa. I bet his song is stunningly beautiful. He is a quite dashing gentleman, after all.
