Today is absolutely gorgeous here in England. In fact, it's been a few days of quite beautiful weather. It's great to walk around outside without freezing and to sit in my apartment with the windows open. Can't beat a few days like that.
This week has been an interesting one. Most of my coursemates are finished with lectures. There were 6 of us that chose to take Water Treatment, which is taught through the undergraduate department, so we still have 2 more lectures. Granted, we only have lectures 1 afternoon a week for that class, so it's not so bad. This week was the official start to our thesis projects though. Everyone seemed pretty rushed to turn in a proposal, or at least a title by Tuesday afternoon. Since then we've all been anxiously awaiting our project advisers and approval. In the meantime, it's been a week of little productivity and little motivation. Maybe it's just the anticipation of Easter break in 1 week. Maybe it's that we're all going home, or at least traveling in 1 week and just are burnt out on all the lectures. Or maybe it's that we're all freaking out about our projects. Whatever it is, I don't think anyone has been that productive. Well, I did manage to catch up on most of the reading I missed while I was back in the States. So, that counts for something right?
Yesterday the twins and I decided to get outside and enjoy the weather. We went over to the park in town, had some ice cream and coffee (well, the did anyway), and just walked around. It was a bit chilly but still beautiful. The trip actually inspired me to take my camera out today, which I did. After a short stroll through the park I went through the market that we have in town every Thursday and Saturday. I stopped by my normal vegetable stand to buy some oranges (he has the best oranges I've ever had) and decided to pick up some flowers because they were just to pretty to pass up. Maybe tomorrow if it's nice I'll head down to the river for some more pictures.
I think I have officially broken my camera though, which means I may be shelling out some money soon to buy a new one. I used to only get 1, maybe 2 error messages when I'd turn the camera on. Today I got 4. That's probably not good. But maybe it can wait until I've graduated and have a real job, with real money, and less debt. Maybe?
