Yay Rain!

Hi folks,

So I figured now that I have a few free minutes in my day it would be a perfict time to update my bloggy-thing. Thanks to everyone who checks it as it is nice to know that you are not forgoten when one leaves for a long period of time.

The last two days have not been really earth gripping as they have mostly been filled with doing a massive amount of homework reading so that I can get my first paper done. I real front to back A Midsummer Night's Dream yesterday and am pounding away at Romeo and Juliet today. I found that Midsummer was a blast to read as it reminded me of some of the fairy tails I had heard growing up as a child and thus it read fast. That and one of the main parts in named Oberon... which is my favorit beer. I think it is a sighn from above that the play and myself are connected.

I find that Romeo and Juliet is a bit harder to get through. This should not be the case as out of the two it is the only on I have read before but the play as a whole seems to put a gloomy spin on the day as it is so well writen that the charecters problems seem to become your own and thus I have found that I need to set the play down from time to time to destress. The play as a whole just stirs up a lot of old memories from a number of long lost relationships. Wow that sounds really cheesy... but I am trying to not sensor my thoughts on this blog while I am away so there you have it.

The weather here has been very British the past two days as well. Clouds cover the sky from most of the day with little rays of sunshine creeping through for a few minutes here and there. The positive of this is that it is raining when I go to sleep and raining when I wake up which make me sleep like a baby and wake up feeling at peace. The negitive is that the flat I am living in is very old and thus everything inside gets damp really easily. Yet, somthing about being in England when it is raining has a bit of a romantic flair to it that I enjoy. I'm sure that I look a bit goofy tramping around the country side my me frog-tog rain gear but reading Shakespeare under a large oak tree in the middle of the English countryside while droplets of water fall onto the brim om my old and torn brown corona hat is an experance that can not be replicated. ( On a side note: I used to get into a bit of a tussle with an old friend of mine about if the world smelt different when it rained. I always said no and she always said yes. I now must agree with her as the smell here when it rains is like nothing I have ever smelt before. )

Lastly, By having a cell phone it has allowed me to call some of you which has given me a great deal of joy. While I am one month down on my journy which makes me sad the fact that I will not see my friends and family for another two fills my mind as well. Also, I am working on a large group of letters that I am hoping to be able to send out in the morning. This should have my mailing adress on it if you wish to send letters back. You might have noticed that I have sent no one an e-mail... I really want to stick to letters as I find them more traditional and the wait adds to the suspence.

Miss you all very much
