Bath: Day 19

Insight into where I live and the sights I see every day.

Today has been a gorgeous day. This weather has been absolutely perfect all week and it's supposed to continue. My skin is definitely getting some color to it!

Had my Sherlock Holmes presentation today where we led class discussion for an hour. It was a bit challenging at points to force people to speak or other times my professor would chime in and ask very difficult questions that nearly destroyed my brain, but it was good overall. We got an A on the presentation so I couldn't be happier (they don't do A+ here). Tomorrow I will have to meet with my Jane Austen class partner for another presentation due next week. Also got my grade back on my JA commentary: B+ which I will gladly take. In my opinion, it was an utterly useless passage. I can hardly believe I actually wrote 1,200 words on that. The general consensus was that it was not a very significant piece so it was difficult to write on. Everyone I talked to got a B or B+ so OK by me!

We watched some of the England game today as well, but didn't catch the USA game (I hear it was pretty awesome). I'm glad both teams won, but hey...USA clinched Group C :) WOOHOO!! I'm still cheering for our team despite my location! Every pub was jam packed here. Seriously. Some places had TVs outside and you couldn't even move on the sidewalk because the crowds from the pub had spilled onto it.

After that, the girls and I decided to treat ourselves to a girls night in after the hard work this week. We made some tortellini with tomato/basil sauce, garlic bread, ceasar salad, and roast tomatoes with parmesan cheese on top. We did a darn good job. We also turned on a classic chick flick: Love Actually. One of my favorite movies. Did some reading after that movie break as well.
Oh, I also picked up a present for someone today and got a little something for me as well. Both are adorable.

Tomorrow we are going to Bristol for a day trip for class. It will be nice to check that out because it is a much more busy, commercial area. Should be an interesting contrast to life in Bath.

Till tomorrow...XOX
