Interesting things

SO earlier in the week I had the fire drill which ended up causing me to miss my British Lit class since i could not get into the building to get my books. Well today I saw the professor in town and stopped him to explain and ask for the homework. He goes over everything in his fun British way that so reminds me of the teacher in Harry Potter, but anyways, after telling me all i needed to know he says "but you really don't have to do any of that if you just want to show up to class next week that will be fine". Crazy, teachers in america never do that, i love this place.

Tonight I went to see the Opera Aida. It was very good, lots of music, singing and dancing. It was my first opera and I must addmit I have heard that it does not matter if you understand the words you can still follow the opera. I was lied to, I mean sure I knew who was talking to who and I figured out who died and when but as for the rest of the story line, nic, nothing. The opera was sung in Italian, which I expected and it was beautiful. The story was about ancient Egypt. The subtitles were in Czech and the only words I new from those were the verb to be and all its forms, the words must and can, and death, oh yeah and Aida. I think I am going to have to go to an Opera that has english titles.

Tonight I was talking to my awesome roommates back in Boone about all the fun they are having without me and "Moving On" by Weekend Excursion started playing, how said is that? oh well just sharing there story because its fun "well, we had a gray mouse in the basement, and of course we all acted like girls.. the neighbor boy came over, he couldn't find it.. so, then we called casey and he caught it with gloved hands and took it outside, evidently it only had 1 eye... not only were we scared of a mouse, but of a 1 eye mouse geez... yeah, it was probably the highlight of the week"
Man I miss those girls!!

now i must go to bed to rest up for a big day of friday classes...aka...Squash class!
