American Food Night

American food night was last night, mum brought lucky charms, peanut butter captain crunch, a sampler of mini boxes of cereal, smarties, cow tales, bulls eyes, reeses pieces, maple sugar candy, honey sticks, ring pops, tootsie pops, nemo gummy snacks, operation gummy snacks, craisins, boston baked beans, spiderman and scooby doo mac n cheese, and confetti cake mix/frosting (I made cupcakes), I think I got it all. It was hilarious, the ring pops were a hit, and I think the reeses pieces were the favorite, and they just found the peanut butter flavored cereal hilarious.
I asked a friend of mine who plays sax if he wants to meet up once a week to practice, he's really good with his ears but wants to improve his reading, and I'm way too much on the page and need to use my ears more, so it will be a good trade off.
Off too latin rhythm ensemble soon, 3 hours long, good class, really glad I'm taking it. For my project I'm taking 'Mann im Mond' by die Prinzen, translating it into Spanish and putting it in either an Afro-Cuban or Brazilian feel, haven't decided yet, but I'm pretty pumped about it.
Oh and I got an email from the honor society I'm in at UMass asking me how I'd like to study in London this summer, haha.

Typical Wednesday

Edinburgh...again

Went to Edinburgh with CIEE again, same exact trip we took last semester, but good time nonetheless. I wandered with some new CIEE Goldsmiths students the first day and hit up a couple pubs, not too late though. Slept til 10 the next day, had breakfast at the Elephant House (where J.K. Rowling wrote 'Harry Potter') then took a bus out to the harbor and toured the Royal Yacht Britannia, then back and toured Holyrood House (palace). Then I met up with a CSer and we wandered along a stream in dean village, then briefly visited a portrait exhibition. We went to his favorite pub which had beer from all over the world and I got a typical Edinburgh one and he got Sam Adams, haha. Then we had dinner at Edinburgh University student union, which looks like a castle. Then he needed to go charge his phone and we were gonna meet up later at the hostel, but for some reason I didn't get his text until really late at night, so we never got to meet up again, very sad. But it was a good (and extremely late) night, four hours of sleep and an early train back to London.
Today is a lazy day, still congested and now I have a pretty bad cough. Going to the post office to pick up a package, either my camera filters or my sister's b-day present. Eating dry cereal for breakfast, so I'm also off to Sainsburys because I have no food.
