Nothing exciting

It is readily apparent to the 5 people that read about my life in London that I am not extremely good at this entire posting thing.  To be honest I haven't done anything worth telling anyone about.  My new semester started so all I have been doing is going to class and studying everyday.  I could sit here and go into great detail about that, but even I don't want to know what I have been reading and writing about.

Outside of the massive amount of school work I have been putting in it snowed in London for the first time since I have been here.  It was a total accumulation of about 3 inches, which wasn't too bad, except that the next day it warmed up and some of it melted away.  Unfortunately there is a deep freeze happening here and that which didn't melt is now completely frozen.  It isn't too bad, but currently everyone is walking only on one side of the street, the one side that the sun manages to hit, otherwise it is treacherous.  I went on a run this afternoon and it made for some careful jogging in places.

I only have one trip planned currently over the next bit of time and that is to Brussels.  It should be a good time, a free place to stay and people that now the city.  Apparently it is much like all the other major capital cities, but it should still be fun.  Good beer and good chocolate, so I plan on getting drunk then gorging on all the chocolates that I bought earlier in the day.

I'm currently thinking of where I might want to go on my short spring break.  I was thinking something at least a little warmer that 0 that I am currently experiencing right now.  I might head over to Southern Spain and take a short trip to Morocco and another North African country.  I need to look into the costs, I have been just spending money with no income so I need to start being a touch more careful.

I am also making a short trip home from May 13-26th.  Just in time for Mothers day and a couple of Sounders games before coming back to the UK to write my dissertation.

I will hopefully get out a little more and take pictures to post on what little I have been seeing.  Sorry again about the absence.
