The Good and The Bad

Lets just start with the bad and get it over with-I'm sick. I thought it was allergies but as I sit here at a computer trying to study I realize that no, I'm sick and anything I am reading right now will be forgotten as soon as my eyes stop looking at the text. The good news is that I get to go home now and watch movies instead.

I went to the British Museum this weekend and I love that place! For one thing it is free, as all museums in London are, so that is a huge plus, but they also have free guided tours of different rooms which I just think is the coolest thing ever! They also have the reading room which use to be the British Library and it is a lovely place to study. I definetly plan to spend many afternoons there. And when I get bored, I can just go hang out with the mummies.

I also discovered something about British TV that makes me so happy I could pee my pants. As you will recall Dancing With the Stars is just about my favorite show ever. AND THEY HAVE IT HERE TOO!!! Now granted, I have no idea who these so called celebrities are, but there is one man on it that is so handsome that it doesn't matter I have no idea who he is. (I doubt most people do-he plays cricket) The judges are the same, the format is the same, everything about it is the same. I have already warned my roommates that I will be watching this program every Sunday and they are not allowed to speak to me while it is on, or make any noise that will interfere with the program. Finally something to look forward to in my week.

I am sad I am not in America watching baseball right now. I am trying to find a place that shows the games here but with the time change it is a little challenging. I went to the temp agency today in hopes of finding a job and I think they should be able to. I hate the idea of working for them but it is the easiest way to get some money coming into my pocket.

Go A's-Do the Bay Area proud!!

Sorry you're not feeling well; hope you feel better soon. And I agree with you that the library in the British Museum is gorgeous.

Ahh, baseball. We went to the last A's / Twins game. The A's swept the series and the sold out stadium went nuts. Everybody was hugging and smiling and chearing. It was definetly the best ball game I've been to and I think the only time I've actually seen the A's win. This unfortunately, was the highlight of the whole series. None of what followed came anywhere close. Likewise, the World Series kinda blew. Seriously, you didn't miss anything Chiquita.

Love,
