A Word of Warning...

To all those planning to come to the UK for Christmas (*hint-hint*) or whatever reason do NOT get traveler's checks in American dollars if you intend to to get traveler's checks. Get them in pounds sterling or else you'll lose the budget for an entire week- thats $120 dollars- in fees alone. It's very upseting, let me tell you, and makes the whole plan of living frugally look laughable.

Internet still down, but I'm going to take it to IT services tomorrow so hopefully this will be worked out. Coming to the library isn't a very good solution for me personally since you all live 7 time zones away and this place is only open till 11 PM or about 4PM in MT.

Had a migraine last night- only the second I ever had- and I missed sangria night for it. What you gonna do- drinking on it didn't seem like a good idea. Attended my second class today, which looks like it's going to be more interesting than I'd hoped, which is a very positive thing.

So in summation- books, classes, fees, etc. all dishearteningly exspensive. Not being able to talk to your family and friends, just generally disheartening. Having a migraine and money troubles at the same time- enough to make you whine. Which is what I'm doing, clearly. I expect I'll feeel more upbeat shortly, so thanks for your patience and commiseration. TTYL, TTFN


UPDATE: I have my internet back on line and am feeling much better... I'm such a Berk....
