Before I tell you all about my trip to London, I must update you on all the happenings around Nottingham...
All the members of Blocks 4, 5 and our favorites from 12 came together to celebrate Will's Birthday (he is finally 20, which means I can no longer give him a hard time for being a year younger than me). We went out on a Friday night, at midnight Will turned 20! And then the next Saturday a few of us went to watch a rugby game with Will--he taught me all about the brutal sport. Saturday night meant present time and going out to dinner!

And then there was Thanksgiving. It was quite strange going to class knowing that everybody I know in America was spending time with family, watching parades and football, and of course eating so much good food! So after class and doing some work on my essays, I went out to eat. Nineteen people from different blocks all joined the "American" (that would be me) for their first Thanksgiving dinner. We went to the Rose and Crown Pub, and all ate many good things, but nobody had turkey.

One of the things I am thankful for:
Melly, the sweetest dog in the world
(thanks for the picture Sarah!) |
 |
Did I mention it rained all of last week, I went through at least
3 pairs of socks each day, my feet were so wet! |
 |

not American at all! |
 |
Fish (with lots of tarter sauce) and chips -- I couldn't have an
American Thanksgiving so I channelled y English roots |
After our dinner we went to Forum for a fun night out, so needless to say I celebrated Thanksgiving a little differently this year.
 |
| Just a little rest before their night out |
