fireworks

Fireworks have been going on all night- yesterday, today and tmr! BOOM BOOM BOOM. Spectacular... Last night was especially beautiful- 20 tonnes of fireworks going off at another hall. Could see them from The Downs (this expansive green hill) when I came back from the Christian Union meeting. :) It's Guy Fawkes day tmr, but I think the Brits are too excited so they've started setting the fireworks off already. Bonfire night tmr!

Hehe anyway it's been a great weekend. Went for a walk at Wollaton Park on friday afternoon; I felt so liberated among the wide open spaces- like I could finally breathe again. (Mad week, had 2 tutorials and 1 seminar) And just enjoyed God's creation; the lovely fall colours, towering trees and tranquil lake. Had fun kicking the heaps of fallen leaves too! Though I had to compose myself when other people walked by. Hehh.. Then back to my room, where Aidan caught me just in time, then rushed off for Tort lecture and finally CU meeting which was great.

Today me, Fifi, Kyunghee and Jayoung (Korean girls) went to watch The Taming of the Shrew in Stratford-upon-avon, Shakespeare's birthplace! Was really fun! :) The play was not bad; but I thought it was too modern a take on it and I couldn't really catch what they were saying.. Too sleepy n didn't read the play beforehand. Anyway, Stratford-upon-avon is really nice, a charming little town. We agreed that it's even nicer than York.. Will post pics soon! Oh yea I bought a cactus too! :) Hope it won't die in winter.. The temperature has plunged. In the past few mornings, The Downs has been covered with frost! Shiver....

Alrighty good night everyone!
So tired!

Love, Carol
