La Vie En Rose for 2002 August 14

*Sigh* I am steeped in the happiness of catching up on emails after a trip, componded buy the fact that I am exactly where I want to be and this is a segment of my life where everything seems to have fianally fallen into perfect place. I could be content enjoying mild English summers with 4 day weekend mini holidays and a mental state of perma-vaction stacking up student loans for the rest of my life. The only bad news is that, unfortunatley, they closed the computer lab close to our houses so its a long walk now, and I won't be emailing as much anymore, but theres only a week left here anyways, which makes me happy and sad at the same time, because I love it here so much and there is still so much I want to do, but it means that soon I get to go to Paris and Nice and Munich, and then I'm starting in London!! How can anyone possibly be upset about London, the best city in the world? (although, I have newly discovered, Edinburgh during festival season probably comes close!)

Here is my news:

Just got back from an afternoon walk around Lewes, the charming town next door, that I haven't actually made it too yet, with some girls from upstairs. There is a castle and a house where Anne of Cleaves, one fo Henry VIII's wives lives. we just looked at the outside, though, because we wanted to spend out money in the gourmet chocolate shop instead.

yesterday during class break I saw a german shephard puppy. It was the cutest thing ever (besides my own, of course.)!!! I even got to tickle its tummy!!

Last night there was a bond fire in the hills behind east slope. I lost count of how many shooting stars I saw!! atleast 20, probably. The most amazing one, someone said it was a metorite skipping on the atmosphere, and it was bright purple and left a trail in the sky for 5 seconds after. Definetley the most amazing thing I have ever seen in the sky!! It was a good night for shooting stars...

My report on this weekend will be up later tonight, hopefully, and also I will try to send out my address in London.

Oh, and, I had almost given up on going to normandie (which is rediculouly (sp?) close at £20 return and probably 3 hours each way) but I finally found someone to go with!! Beverly from upstairs and I are going this Friday, yippee!
