so here's the sitch with the camera... I borrowed andrews, but it's not rechargable. so i figured I could just buy new double A's - they're universal right? well, it seems that my american appliance uses way more energy tha AA's here. cause new ones only have enough juice to turn my camera on before they die. so I'm kind of cameraless! but I figure it's not really all so bad, I use Jacquis a lot, and I'm in lots of other peoples pictures, so I just need to get copies. So chery emailed me these 2 tonight. she 's the best! and there I am with her at Cambridge and with Jacqui at Canterbury :)
Today was fun! (i say that a lot...)
classes this morning, and then I did laundry and did my homework down in the laundry room for a couple hours. I only took one chocolate break (have I blogged about the chocolate here??? it's amazing. and deserves an entire entry to itself sometime.) and during said break, who showed up but...
President Samuelson!!
yeah, like the pres of BYU. he'd never been to teh center before, it was a surprise visit when he was just passing through. and cause we all have tons of homework and tests, most people were home and he either was impressed with how very studious we all are or disappointed in the fact that they pay tons to have this amazing center and we all just sit in the center studying. I must admit I side with the latter...
But he and I chatted about chocolate for a while, he told me his favorite was lion, which I haven't even seen so I'll be on the lookout :)
more studying. dinner. and then...
we went to st. pauls cathedral to hear Beethovans 9th symphony! the acoustics were AMAZING! and I think we played the second movement in chamber? so that was fun memories. it sounded incredible! one of the opera singers voices was out of this world. my mouth was open in awe the whole time he sang. we all got dressed up. it was such a fun night out!!
We came home and were giong to study for our war test tomorrow on the poetry and art, and we actually did study a lot... but also chatted and had such a fun time!!! I love these friends. tehy are keepers! I told the story about how last night I thought that clark got murdered cause he has to use the bathroom in the basement and then he never came back. and I thought i should check his room on my way up at 130, but i forgot, and then I didn't want to get out of bed... so then i had a terrible nightmare that he died, so I got up and went to the fire escape to look in his window. and the light was on but I couldn't see him so i was freaking out cause he was missing. and then I couldn't open the door back in and I was stuck on the fire escape and thought I was going to die too... but then i was too scared to go and knock on his door or anything. anyway, it made for a restless night. and i felt like Catherine from Northanger abbey - i might write my paper on that. clark is fine, and everyone thinks I'm a big creeper for looking in his window and for not doing anything about thinking he was missing. and even worse... I slept in and missed the ONE day we have a good breakfast! of course. going to bed so i don't sleep in again tomorrow. even though I bet they'll just serve gross yogurt, sour milk on cereal and bananas. if we're lucky.
