January 26th

So I haven't updated this in a while, so I figured I'd let everybody know what is going on in my life.
Monday, I went into London to get my computer checked out, as my drive is broken. I headed over to the Regent Street Apple Store and it turns out I have to get my entire disc drive replaced. Which is annoying but necessary. After going to the Apple Store, I walked around for a bit and went into Hamleys Toy Store and watched a puppet show. Hamleys is the biggest toy store in London and I saw colorful characters outside so I decided to stop in for a bit. I spent a bit of time looking through the store, then looked at some clothes before catching the Tube back right as Rush Hour was starting to kick in. I then came back, had some dinner, watched some Frasier, and read for a while.
Tuesday I had class from 2-5, which was my Space/Place:Text/Context class, wherein we look at different visual media and look at it from a Modernist perspective and think of how it relates to the culture it was produced in. The teacher is some twenty-something hipster with a stutter who wanted us to watch a Radiohead music video, but we ran out of time. He seems very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, so he ought to be a good professor. I briefly spoke to him and I think he took quite a shine to me, so we will see how the year goes there. I then came back and repeated the night before.
Today I got up really late for some reason and had some breakfast. I had no class so I did some of my readings that are due this week and researched some of the textbooks I'm required to get. I still haven't figured out where exactly I'm supposed to pick them up, but I will figure that out one day. It may be the library, but I'm not sure. I got really overwhelmed because the other day my Modernism and After professor gave us this like 60 double-sided pages packet of papers, and I was under the impression we were supposed to read it all by tomorrow and I was worried I had gotten in over my head here before I realized it is the reading for the entire semester. I suppose I could do it in a week, it would just require more work than expected.
I like to buy like fresh, natural foods that don't last for very long, so I'm very bad at getting all of them in before they expire. I've got to start buying in smaller quantities or food with more preservatives. Probably the former.
If it were up to me, the only way people would be able to read this blog would be with Yakety Sax blasting out of their computer speakers. Unfortunately, I do not have that kind of power. Here is a link to Youtube video featuring it though in case you would like to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ
Tomorrow I'm going into London to see this museum with a great Impressionist collection for class, and I will try to swing by the Apple store afterwards. Hopefully, they won't have to keep my computer for too long. I'm probably just going to watch some Frasier and fall asleep at this point. Have fun!
