Hello again

So I haven’t updated the blog as much as I’d hoped. Let’s try to get this thing back on track.

I’ve not been doing much work, really. Probably taking things a little too easy. So I’m spending this weekend planning out what essays I’ll be doing over the next few weeks. It’s already four weeks in and I haven’t even looked at the questions yet.

It’s been retardedly cold this week. I don’t think it’s got over ten degrees at all. I keep hoping for snow but apparently we won’t get any. Not in Lancaster, anyway. But I heard on the radio that it was snowing in Northern Ireland the other day. I’ll probably have to go to Finland to see snow. They seem to have good snow there. 

I’ve sort of explored Lancaster. Sort of. I’ve walked there a couple of times. It’s about three miles or so, not too hard a walk. At least I know the right way to go, now. The first time I walked there I took the wrong turn and ended up on all sorts of side streets. Yesterday we went the right way and it was much easier.

I went on a ghost walk with the history society on Thursday night. The castle looks awesome. I think I’ll have to go there and do the tour. Apparently there’s the ghost of a little girl in one of the dungeons. Also, the castle is still used as a prison. I find it odd that they have a prison right in the middle of the town. I guess they can’t really move the castle. They moved a whole bunch of gravestones, though. Where they used to be is now a carpark, and all the stones are arranged in a sort of amphitheatre on the other side of the church. They reckon the prisoners complain about ghosts walking around the stones looking for their bodies. I don’t know how the prisoners see out. I couldn’t see any windows on that side of the castle. Something tells me they’re not being completely honest. Anyway, after the second pub me and a friend realised we were quite hungry, so dropped to the back of the group as they made their way from the pub, then ran away. That was the mature way of dealing with it, oh yes.

Apart from that, everything’s been fairly uneventful. It’s just been classes and such. They are tremendously uneventful. I have a tendency to zone out after about ten minutes and start scrawling all over my papers. 

That’s all for now. I’ll post pictures sometime if I remember to take my camera with me when I go places, and then remember to take photos. I can’t promise anything.

Moikka.
