La Vie En Rose for 2002 July 3

turns out it wasnt safe to go back- raining hard the whole way! oh well, today it only slightly rained. michelle and i went into brighton and went shopping, and i managed to get most of the stuff i needed. including a nice fuzzy big warm jacket. on sale. yay. i even got a brita filter and a hair styler at a very reasonable price. the one thing i couldnt find, however, was a cd player- they were all atleast 40 pounds, which is way too much!

planing on going into london tommorrow, early evening. then staying for most of friday! the (extremley) tenative plan is to go again next week on saturday to buy doc martens in the street market, then visit scotland the week after. michelle wasnt able to get into my class, so we might put off ireland until next session. well see. i am still hoping to run across extremely cheap airfare so i can go to nice- that is something i am dying to do!

i am still working on getting settled in. i blame my exhastion on recovering jet lag and the severe change in weather. hopefully i will get some work done tonight! i bought a hole puncher to go with my binder- can you beleive that, in addition to different plug, currency, and cell ("moblie")phone systems, they have a different hole punching system! not only that, i discovered when i bought my hairstyler (which convientantly has 2 different plug adaptors), the british electrical plugs are different from the rest of europe! i think they just like to be difficult.

apparantly brighton is not a hot spot for alsatians. although i have seen many cute doggies, none are that special breed, so the count is still at two.
