I got a plant! They had a plant sale yesterday on campus and I needed something to liven up my room...so yeah, I'm naming it....D'Artagnan. haha...I wanted a dumb name cuz I named the plant at West Park Rufus and Steph named her stuffed flower Manfred....so I was looking at a "dumb names to give your baby" site and D'Artagnan was on there...and I thought, yes, it is a dumb name, but it's a MUSKETEER!! And then everytime I see my plant I can scream out D'Artagnaaaaaaan! like that guy in the Disney version of The Three Musketeers when he's chasing Chris O'Donnell at the beginning.
Anyway, you may be thinking - why is she rambling on about plants when there's so much to see and do in England?? Well I was going to go shopping today but it's pouring outside...and around here they don't have just a big mall to go into...it's a lot of walking out side and stuff. Also, I forgot that I have a meeting today at 1 for my Anglo-Saxon class to figure out timetable stuff...so I wouldn't have had a lot of time to shop anyway.
It turns out that the Block L party has been moved to tonight...so last night my flatmates and I went to a pub down the road. But it was soooo busy cuz Real Madrid was playing (David Beckham's team) and I think there was a wedding party in there too...all I heard were church bells last night and I couldn't figure out why church bells were ringing on a Thursday night. But at the same time, who gets married on a Thursday?? Anyway...and then when we came back from the pub there were a bunch of ppl sitting outside our building...apparently Block K and J were having a bin bag party (people dress up in garbage bags)...so we hung around for a bit to socialize. Matt was pretty trashed. It was so funny. He had to get up for a faculty trip/social thing today and the bus left at 8:15 this morning from campus (which is a 1/2 hour walk away). So he kept telling us..."I have to be up in 5 hours" so we're like then go to bed doofus! So I'm assuming he went...if not then I guess he's still sleeping cuz I haven't seen him yet. Actually, I think everyone had to be in for 10 at the latest today...haha not me!
