Bath: Day 25

So, I forgot to mention the other day that I tried a Turkish Delight. I had no clue what it was- all I knew was that the characters in Harry Potter really liked it and it was a sweet. So when I was in the store the other day, I saw them and decided, why not try one? They were, after all, 59 pence. I got home and was eager to open the bright purple package. What would it look like? Well, it basically looked like a big square of chocolate. So I'm thinking: Yep, that Ron Weasley sure has good taste in sweets- I'm game for this! Until I took a bite. BLUCK! WHAT WAS THAT RON WEASLEY THINKING?! DON'T THE ENGLISH HAVE TASTE BUDS?! I spat it out and threw it away. Inside the yummy-looking shell was some disgusting orange-flavored gelatin, goop. From now on I think I shall pass on English "sweets"...

"Full of Eastern Promise"...of GARBAGE!

Anyhow...going with this theme of sweets. I have also had the (dis)pleasure of trying their "chocolate" here. Kit-Kats. Yeah, not so much. The chocolate here is way too rich for my tumalum.

Got my creative writing piece back today and got an A on it! Yay! I was pretty motivated with work today. Drafted out my entire final paper for Jane Austen and did my regular homework. Tomorrow's goal is to write my proposal for my final paper in Holmes and I can mostly breathe. Also got my flight dialed in for Paris today. It was surprisingly like half the cost of the chunnel. That option would require me to purchase a train ticket to Paddington, then to take the underground to St. Pancras and then hop on EuroStar to Paris. No thanks. Heathrow it is! I'm going to be an old pro at that airport (even though it is still a bit crazy to navigate).

Got my nomnoms today for lunch- La Baguette. LOVE the sandwiches. I really want to go back to Ristaurante Martini and Pret a Manger before I leave, plus I would like to try Sally Lunn's (famous for their buns- ha, but really.) and the Pump Room which is famous. I wrote out an entire list today of to-do's and want-to-do's. It's helpful.

I also did my presentation in Jane Austen today. It went well, despite the fact that my partner was a TOTAL boob. Idiot. He was responsible for basically nothing and he somehow managed to even screw that up! Some people...

Oh, and I think I am getting sick. Throat is super sore and raspy and tight feeling and I am constantly having to blow my nose. I hope not! And if I am...so long as I'm better by the flight home. I think it may just be allergy though since we don't have air circulation in the house and it gets stuffy and allergens stick around.

I should have some cool pics up tomorrow because we have the Bath Skyline walk right after my Sherlock Holmes class. The weather is supposed to be nice for it!

G'night all!
