Relief.

Well my class-changing fiasco has been resolved. I got into three different classes, and I think I'll be much happier with them. Not to say that the other classes weren't interesting; they were just above and beyond my comprehension. It was a hectic process, but I think it'll be worth it. As of now I'm still taking West European Politics, but I've changed into a few different courses. The two English courses are "Romanticism & Modernism" and "Scottish Literature: 20th Century Perspectives." They should be more suited to my knowledge of English; I'm looking forward to them, but I'll have to catch up! My last class is a business class called "Beverage Management," and it talks about the business strategies and techniques behind a restaurant/bar/hotel serving beverages to its customers. Should be interesting, but the really exciting part is that the class has a unit described as "Wine." We get to go to a wine-tasting, a distillery, and a winery for trips, and there is also an entire unit about matching wine or other drinks with food. I'm really looking forward to that part, because I've always wondered how people do it. I'm so relieved that I got my classes approved and switched. It will be a chore to catch up since I missed the first few meetings, but I'll manage.

With my spirits much higher, I did laundry. My friend Will tagged along, and we chatted about what we were going to do for our weekend in London! We're leaving tomorrow at 7:30, and we'll be in London by 1! I'm jacked about this trip. It'll be nice to get out and see the sights. More pictures will be coming... For now I've just been catching up with 24 and killing time until my Skype session with my family. I'm really looking forward to seeing them. Homesickness happens, kids. Don't deny it. For supper, Meredyth, Will, Jackson, and I ventured to a nearby pub/restaurant where we got nachos as an appetizer. They were absolutely delicious. How I had missed them! Meredyth and I got fish and chips, Jackson got a burger, and Will got a beef/mashed potatoes/Shepherd's pie thing that was delicious. Jackson and I tried it, and in Jackson's excitement, he shoved a steaming hot bite of mashed potatoes into his mouth and seriously burned the roof of his mouth. He didn't eat the rest of his food. It was intense! That's all for now, but I'll be updating upon our return from London! Wish us luck!
