A belated Happy Halloween - I can not believe how fast this term has gone - it is November? *shudder* Anyway ....

> Resolved today at the polo club to become even poorer than I already am and invest in a set of fiberglass polo mallets .... and some knee pads ... and a proper pair of polo boots. Hopefully they will be high quality because that may be all I can afford to wear through the end of the year if I keep on at this rate .....

> I am still coughing - it must be all the clean London air ...

> One of the benefits of living in the UK is that you get to see the Harry Potter and James Bond films before anyone else. (hahaha!) The flatmates and I braved the chilly rain yesterday to go see the new James Bond film. It is completely different than a "typical" Bond film, because this Bond is an angry, vengeful, jerk (who is yet strangely still charming .... it must be the washboard abs....) and he kicks some ass. I won't give anything away for anyone who has not seen it yet, but it is a really good action flick.

> Side Note: They have BEN AND JERRY'S MILKSHAKES at the cinema here. You heard me. You can pick your 2 favorite B&J flavors and the will mix them into a milkshake for you to consume with popcorn. *sigh* And the popcorn? You have the option of "sweet or salted" the sweet option has this surgary liquid drizzled on top and salted is just plain movie theater popcorn ... who would have thought ....

> This week is a little less hectic than last, and I am finding a rythm with my coursework - all and all MUCH less overwealming than MHC. I am thankful because Wednesday is Bonfire night here in the UK, and I am really excited to head down to Hyde park and see the fireworks!!! I will report back with pictures ....
