London, pancakes and Jori

Finally, I'm busy enough that I have work I have to do rather than just reading ahead for fun. All of my friends know I prefer being busy to being bored, so I'm finally finding my niche here. Yesterday I went to London to visit Jori (all by myself I might add). That is, getting on the bus, and figuring out the tube all on my own. Ow, ow independent woman here!! So anyway, it was really good to see a familiar face from home. (For those of you who don't know Jori is my best friend from high school. She's studying in Ireland this term.) Although we lost her friends, and did a lot of walking (my shin splints are crazy this week!!) we did get to see some new things, and we had pancakes, much to my delight!! I feel like I have jet lag and I haven't even done any flying. Too many late nights. Registration for Eastern classes next semester started this week. My time to register online was 9pm, which meant staying up until after 2am here. But then the network was down (a real shock for those who are used to Eastern's network never working) so I had to register the next night. But all went well, and I was able to get all the classes I need. Looks like it's gonna be a tough one next spring. with 15 credits of Communication classes and a theology class!! So it's raining today, forcing me to stay inside and *gasp* work in my paper, something I've been struggling to start for the past 4 days. It will be done by tonight or, in the words of my favorite (and only) gymnastics instructor, my name is "Mud."
