asher roth was right

I've successfully completed my first ever college level exam today! It was for my Intro to Politics and IR class, and it went pretty well (I know for sure that I at least passed... ) Saturday I have my International Law exam and then DadDad is arriving on Saturday afternoon, so the plan (i think) is to grab dinner with him, start studying for my Econ exam on sunday, Henry arrives on Monday evening, and he's here until Wednesday! It's gonna be a hectic week...

60 minutes

well Louise will be happy to know that I will never take an elevator ever again, thanks to the hour I spent trapped in between floors in the lift in my dorm last night. I had to miss out on getting drinks with Lydia and her aunt and uncle because, well, I was sitting on the most likely very very dirty floor of the lift instead! what a fantastic way to waste an hour of my life!

londontown thanksgiving

i've just returned from a weekend in London with Lydia and my uncle Ticker which was sooo nice, especially since Ticker organized a massive international thanksgiving feast, complete with smoked turkey and regular turkey as per the Shoemaker tradition. Lydia and spent most of the days wandering around the westside of London (Notting Hill, Portobello Market, and Kensington) and had a wonderful afternoon with her godfather Martin in Knightsbridge and Harrods.
As of today, lectures and tutorials are finished so I have a week+ to study before my mid-year exams. I've decided to drop Economics because its entirely too maths based for my preference at Edinburgh, and instead next semester I'll be picking up a modern European History course which should be well good help in my International Relations classes in the future.
the next big adventure on my schedule (besides exams, ....of course) is a visit from Mr. Henry Waldron, a good friend of mine from home who has been in Morocco for this semester.
