La Vie En Rose for 2002 July 31

Writing my 500 word description of an area for my class... the bad thing about measuring length of papers by words is the word count is actually something to do, and therefore more distracting then simply looking at the length to see how long it is, like the equivalent of switching to page view everytime you check the length of your paper. so far I am at 283 words, so more than halfway done.

went into Brighton to pick up a few things I needed for the trip, including my Let's Go, which wasn't there so I have to get it tommorrow before our walking session, but I ended up going full on shopping, but i got a bunch of really good deals (Karma making up for the way back from Amsterdam?) so its ok. EX: 3 skirts and a shirt for £10, cute trainers for £9, a nice little black backpack for £3, and sunglasses for £1.49. I did pretty well, I'd say. plus I found some exciting stacking travel jars at Boots, where I also bought a quick drying travel towel and turned in my application for an advantage points card. I love Boots. I'm going to miss Boots a lot when I go home.

I got a letter today!! Also, belated excitement because I recieved only just before i left for my continental adventures, I got a package form my mommy! (containing cheetos, makeup, gretel pictures, ranch dressing packettes, and other necessities) Red doggie is doing quite well, thank you. However, he is a bit lonley from being left behind because I am afraid my adventures would be too much stress for him. However, I think he might be able to come to Scotland to see Anne.

We booked a hostel for this weekend. I'M GOING TO IRLEAND TOMMORROW!!!!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
