I've Joined the Masses
Yes, it's true, I finally have my very own iPod and will now look even less like a tourist, because everyone who lives here always has their earplugs in when they walk places. And my goal in life is to not be a tourist, obviously.
Still wrestling with the infernal Elizabeth Gaskell. Bugger her, as they say.
However, my new hobby, which proves very useful when I want to be distracted from writing about the infernal Mrs. G, is finding cheap flights to places in Europe from London. I and four other girls from my house are planning a trip to Barcelona in March. So very excited about it! I love the fact that within about five minutes of hearing about said trip, I had bought the ticket online, and for a very satisfactory price. Another great thing about England: "Oh, I made such an impulse buy the other day! Yeah, just a few days in Spain."
Also, a Russian ballet company is coming to perform not only Sleeping Beauty but Swan Lake...in the same week. Gah. I am going to both. I think they must have ordered this double feature specially for me.
So yeah, there's Barcelona, and Russian ballet troupes...things here are fine.

Whilst! Haha, that's another Brit-ism. Never "while." As in, "Great deals whilst the sale lasts!"
