I've been gone now officially a week.

I got up around 8 this morning, and walked to campus for breakfast at 9. (The English breakfast is not my favorite, it's not bad, just different... I had sausage, scrambled eggs and a piece of toast. The best way to describe the sausage here is that it is not as solid as I'm used to it kind of falls apart once the skin is gone. The scramble eggs (first of all need some salt and pepper) are one step away from being liquid, not to say that they are bad, they look gross and the texture is really off but they taste good. And the toast kind of tastes and feels like it was deep fried but again it tastes good even though it looks weird and the texture is really off.

After I got some food into my system, I walked into town and looked in some of the shops. I went to the Cathedral "Gift" shop, I bought 5 postcards which I will be distributing into the mail by Monday at the latest and a book on costumes from 1500 - present. (very light reading but really beautiful pictures and it was small so it should not take up too much weight)

I also looked at the different clothing boutiques along the High Street and in the various streets off of it and everything is just so expensive. However I did see a Freakum dress (as Erin would call it) It was strapless, cornflower blue, fitted, extremely short (I think when I held it up to me it only reached upper to mid- thigh, and it had an exposed zipper down the middle of the front (from the top to the bottom) :P (I am tempted however... it is at H&M and only 24.99 pounds)... But then I ask myself where would I wear it, and I can just hear what mom would say if she saw it. lol. But we shall see...

I could not find the secondhand clothing store I was disappointed I know that it is somewhere... maybe I shall find it on another adventure.

I still have to come up with gifts for people.... hmmm....

Anyway, I have 5 postcards to write, a 1 page assignment on Thomas Becket to do ("Why was the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in the Cathedral in 1170 such an important event in the history of Canterbury and England?") and also I need to get a paper so that I can find an article about Britishness... (If you see such an article send it my way)

Well that's all for now, probably write some more later. :) (I still have to tell you about the new people who moved in today...)
