Easter holiday is almost here! I leave for my trip around Europe in a week; we will be going to Berlin, Prague, Munich, Venice, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, and Paris. So, I've been trying to work hard to get all of my research and as much of my essays done in advance as I can. The last week has been at least somewhat relaxing, spending time with friends and in the library.
One of my flat mates is from Thailand and he cooked us dinner last week. It was so good! We had chicken, rice, fish, noodles, soup, and eggs, as well as a lot of other dishes. Hopefully sometime soon we'll be able to cook him an "American" meal... and hopefully it will be a little more classy than hamburgers and fries.
One of my friend from Salt Lake City had a birthday last week, so we went to an Italian restaurant to celebrate. It was delicious, but we had problems finding it. We took a detour through the mall and asked a couple of security guards how to get to it, and they told us that it was the building that looked like a warehouse, which sounded a little shady at first, but it turned out great!
I went to a Taylor Swift concert this week with my friend Jenn in Manchester! I am not the biggest fan of Taylor Swift, but it was pretty amazing. A Scottish band opened for her, and they were pretty good, too. While we were in Manchester we went to an art museum and did lots of shopping.
It's getting to the point in the semester where we all have our friend groups, and it's been so good to get to know people better. Over coffee dates and girl nights I get the chance to hear about their lives, and it's funny that no matter what country you're from we all have the same experiences with school, friends, and love. Of course everyone is unique, but lately it's just been wonderful to get to know people and relate to them.
