-There's something about the water in Norwich. I didn't really notice it all that much last semester until I went home, but at home, my hair started behaving differently, since it was actually behaving. On the other hand, my skin completely bugged out despite not changing my habits. Here, my hair constantly looks like I've been electrocuted unless I use half a bottle of gel or my straightener, but my skin is next to perfectly clear, which I don't think has happened since I was eight years old.

-I think Wafflestomper makes me walk faster, if that's possible. I think it's because my left foot is longer, so I have to take bigger steps. I can also kind of rock on it when I walk, and I get a sort of momentum going that I don't really break. I hope it'll be OK to travel with, though: I'm going to both Paris and Dublin while still wearing it. I can most certainly walk, but I get tired earlier, I think, and things with lots of stairs (particularly down stairs) or even the slightest inclines aren't so good. We might be going on a day-trip to some mountains in Dublin--there will not be any mountain-climbing for me on that journey, thank you very much.

-When my friends and I had our meeting about our spring break travels, Croatia was more of an idea than a real discussion. However, I've been looking at pictures and reading about it online, and now I really want to go, despite the expenses. I hope the other three that seem interested actually are willing to shell out for it too, because I'd kill to go. However, the two cities I want to go to, Zagreb and Dubrovnik, are pretty far from each other, and to get between the two by train, you have to go through Bosnia, which means even more money. However, if my spring break is just Croatia and Greece, I think that would be OK with me. I'd like to have Alex or my mom come to England to visit me in the first two weeks, though. And hell, if I can afford more, I'll do more. It's a matter of waiting and seeing, I think.

-It was actually sunny outside today. I don't think that's supposed to happen in this part of England until, like, mid April. It was a bit warmer than usual, too. However, when I decided to go out to walk to Tesco, it was 3:30 and therefore beginning to get dark. I forgot about that little detail.

-Tomorrow is Monday and I'm dreading it. At least I have supplies to pack a lunch this time, and I'll break my usual ban on leaving class to go to the bathroom if I need to. After those technical details, in terms of classroom discussions, I suppose the motto will have to be "the best you can is good enough." I seriously need to get a travel coffee mug, though. It might save me on Mondays.
