Monumental achievement today: did my first load of laundry since arrival. Total cost: £13.30. Equivalent to $21.30. Exchange rates are DUMB. I’m combining whites and darks next time I don’t even care.

Apart from that morning adventure, I have sat in my room eating cookies and pretzels, reading My Trade by Andrew Marr, and trying and failing to lay off the internet. The only reason I’ve laid around today is because I am TRYING to get research done on my term paper (due Thursday) but really, who ever heard of me getting anything done earlier than the night before? I do not understand why I even kid myself.

Tomorrow: class 9-1 and more staying in.
