The Crazed Lady

Remember how I told you about that crazy Indian lady that yelled at us on the bus about some kind of political stuff? Ya well I found out today that she is actually a regular. We stopped at the same stop today and she came right up to the bus driver and gave him her speigl. It was exactly the same as last time something like... "Whats happening in Gettysberg...You cannot deny it... your daughters and sons are making not the best choice but the worst choice"...thats all I could pick up but it definitely is a speech she repeats. She always look so angry!

I was so excited because I made it to the City Centre John Rylands Library today downtown all by myself. Found the chapter I needed to read for psycholinguistics all by myself. Got back on the bus and went from there to Piccadilly Gardens to go shopping all by myself and managed to make it back home all by myself. I WAS REALLY EXCITED!!! Seriously using those maps can be scary. At the library the same lady was there yelling at the check out guy... its beginning to get a little funny but sad at the same time.

I have now booked my Paris flight that came to a big whooping 10 pounds which is awesome! I have been doing a lot of finance work on my trips and its just so scary! Like I always end up okay but its like you are estimating so many costs that it could be totally off!

I leave for Wales tomorrow at like 7:30am and hopefully will get some reading done on the way there. I have been terribly bad at doing work here because I get distracted with looking up flights, train tickets, tours and just basically not focusing on school. I am definitely not behind because I feel like none of the locals ever really study or read anyways...so its all good.

Words US to UK:
- the letter 'z' -"zed" (I needed a code to get into the bathroom at the bookstore the other day and he said it was "6789 zed" so I typed 6-7-8-9-z-e-d over and over again and it wouldn't work. A british girl came over and typed it for me...I then learned z is said as zed here...I am an idiot)
