I had my first class today, Shakespeare stuff, it doesn't seem too bad, I only have lecture every other Monday, which is good! So I guess I'll stick with it then. And I was just told that there is no class on Wednesday because of the Tube strike (and I thought I was going to have to get up really early to walk 30-45 min to campus.) So I have 2 days without class this week, since I won't have class on Tuesday anyway. YAY! Um I think that's about it. I saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding last night for the second time; it opened here on the 20th, so another American and I went with some of our British friends. Bye for now.

Today was a good day. I went out with a girl from Indiana, and we bought black leather boots, like stylish ones, so we can have winter type boots. Then we went and got a tour of Buckingham Palace, and we then thought we were walking towards Victoria station, to catch the tube to Westminster to see Big Ben, but as we rounded a corner, I saw Trafalgar Square... oops. But then we walked to Big Ben and Parliament, and we got there in time to hear it ring at 4:30pm, which was cool. Oh, and we saw the Thames. That's about all I'm up too.

So I've had a busy past 2 days, uni orientation, shopping, for general necessities, like bedding, and a mobile phone. =) The phones over here are sooooo cool! America is way behind, too bad the phone I got isn't tri-band, so I can't use it in the States. Oh well, I can get heaps of use of it over here. Not much else had happened besides meeting lots people, and hanging out with the people in my flat.

I'm in London! But I don't have a phoneline in my room. So therefore, no pictures for you guys yet. But I did get here safe, so that's good. Have a good weekend, I'm off to eat lunch/dinner, whatever meal it is that I'll be grabbing from the McDonald's near my dorm (blech).

Wow, I leave Maui in a week. Weirdness. Strange to think too, that I won't be back until next June, and one of my friends, Kristin, from U of A is here interning at Hope Chapel, and I won't be here. =( Anyways, I'm getting closer to be able to have internet in my dorm room; I'm getting a modem convertor for my laptop. Yay! So, I'm steps closer to being able to update my picture page, since I can post on this page from any computer with internet. Oh well, that's enough of my pointless talking just to be able to post something up here. By the way, packing is not fun at all. I've never liked it, and I never will. It's sad too when Black Velvet will get in my suitcase, and I know I can't take her with me. Aww... I'll miss my kitties and my family too.

Neal left last night, so all of Maui is in mourning. It's one source of entertainment is gone. j/k. But it's sad because I won't see him until next June.

My stupid comment thingies aren't working, so I'm trying to mess with those to get them to work.

Still not much going on, on Maui. I went to breakfast at IHOP with Jill, Anne, Neal and David, then slept. Physics for 12 weeks can wear a person out.

David: David says "Everyone who has eyes that can see or ears that can hear shall see the movie kung pow. It is good. Also, I must say, I am cool. Everyone will recognize me as their leader for i am present leader of URS (United Russian States). United Russian States is comprised of Russia, Mongolia (capital territory), Canada, Hawaii, Scandanavia, Zimbabwe, Yugolsavia and much more. I am the Supreme Emperor and Dictator of the United Russian States (SEDURS). Responsibilites to me: you must make me brownies... and muffins... i like muffins... chocolate muffins... yes... muuuufffffinnnnnss... ashleigh will go make me some now, so follow her example.

(2 hours later)

David: i like muffins... and brownies...

Ashleigh: Okay.... so David took over the computer. Good thing I have lots of room. =) But as David says everyone must see Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Ok, I think I'll be going now. Bye bye!

Yay! I'm finally back on Maui after spending most the summer on Oahu. No more physics for me! =D Neal got back onto Maui today, but he leaves on Friday. Not much else is going on besides getting ready to go to England. It's scary because I leave in less than a month.

Ok, so yesterday, Wednesday, I went to the swap market at Aloha Stadium with some friends. One of them was nice enough to warn me to bring sun screen because there's not much shade, and it's obvious that I'm haole and burn easily. So when we actually went, I brought my 30 SPF Coppertone Sport Gel Sunblock, and I put it on my shoulders and back when we got to Aloha Stadium because I was wearing a sleeveless shirt. After walking around for 40 minutes, I sat in the shade for another 20, and then went to my car, when I noticed that my shoulders were a bit pink. When I got to my dorm, I then found that they weren't just pink, they were red! ARGH! Even when I put on new, non-expired sunscreen I get burnt. I think I'm going to die of skin cancer.

Just finished 6 hours of work, guess that's not too bad since I got paid $37.50 to read a book, the Honolulu Advertiser, do my homework, and to talk to friends, oh yeah, then general duties, which don't take up all the time. =) Being a desk assistant type person isn't too shabby. I think I'm going to go see Austin Powers in Goldmember tonight, for the 2nd time.

Yay! I think I just got this site to work with comments and stuff! I'm proud of myself. Especially since I don't know how to do HTML or anything online except surf, email or use instant messengers. So everyone needs to comment in "Try write!," "There is 1 cool person," or "There are x cool people."

I went to Hana today for the first time since 1988. The place hasn't changed. It's still as boring as it's ever been. I don't see why tourists want to go there so much. It's a long drive, 1 hour and 40 minutes from my house, but it was still pretty. I guess going every 14 years or so isn't too bad.

Welcome to my Blog! Hopefully, I'll be able to use it to update how I'm doing while I'm in London and Europe for nine months.
