Fire Alarms, Facebook Pics and Medieval Porn

Mood: Sore but happy
Location: Harlaxton Manor, Lincoln

Alright alright, I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. First nothing was happening, just classes and naps...then KABLAM! Everything was happening at once and the internet was down in my room.

So here's the highlights.

I had my first bad day here on Wednesday. Fire drill. Need I say more? In case I do, here's the breakdown. Fire drills SUCK. Especially when the alarm is not only at a high pitch, but a high frequency too. Rapid sirens of piercing ear-rape. Ugh. This being, of course, at 6:30 am on a school day when I had been up absurdly late because the sucky driers in the laundry room didn't dry my clothes fully and I had to wait for them to go through a second cycle which I was ok with since I thought I could sleep in a bit. bhajkl;dshfaf!!!!

Consequently I spent Wednesday in a fugue, barely conscious of the world around me (NOT good on a school day). When I did notice things, it was only to bestow them with hatred for living in a world where fire alarms go off at 6:30 in the morning, necessitating less sleep and more standing in the frigid pitch black.

Oh. And three people didn't show up (i.e. stayed in the building instead of coming outside). So we get to do it AGAIN at an unspecified time in the near future. Oh joy.

However, I bought myself a Cadbury hot chocolate in the bistro and consequently felt better. I also took a nap on Thursday.

Other important things! (Happier too!)

Took pretty pics of the castle and surroundings. You can see them on my facebook account. I may look into linking them here too...

Went to Lincoln Cathedral today! (Friday...though it's Saturday by now) It was AMAZING. We toured the cathedral and the castle and it was simply staggering. I wish I had words but I honestly don't. Took a few pics before my camera died...I'll post them soon as I can. The coolest part was that I (as a part of the choir) SANG in the cathedral. It was simply AWESOME.

Oh! Bought my first gift for someone at home. Trey has something to look forward to now. :)

Going travelling tomorrow. Some friends are going to York for the day. Should be fun...there's apparently a Viking museum? Viking's are awesome.

Tired and sore (been walking all day) and waking up early so I'm going to bed. Love you all...
