I'm glad to hear everyone at W&M had a good spring break, it looks like Tom, Spencer, and Christian had a good time in DC. Life here has been fairly dull this past week, it's been a lot of paper writing, which is the reason I did not update on Sunday. It kind of works out poorly that I can only play video games on Sunday, but that's the day I leave all my work until. This last paper was literally the closest I've ever cut it. Due at 5:00, I finished at 4:45, discovered the hall printer was out of paper, sprinted to the library (which I still accidentally call Swem sometimes), printed it out, then literally sprinted to the other side of the town to the biology building to turn it in. I look as my watch as I'm dropping it in the box, it reads 4:59:00. Despite being very sleep deprived and having run very far, I did get myself to the dance classes last night, had a great time, came back to my room, and collapsed.
On the times when I wasn't working, I did go out to see The Hurt Locker, which absolutely deserved to win best picture, it was one of the best films I've ever seen. I was also introduced to a game called Jungle Speed, which besides sounding like a very intense drug, is a very fun game, although can turn to violence. Imagine combining Egyptian Ratscrew with Spit involving a wooden totem, that's pretty much it.
I had been wondering what I was going to do with my second week of spring break, and I've settled on just getting a Britrail pass and travelling around hostels in the south of England, seeing Gloucester, Cornwall, and Dover. And yes, I do intend to listen to "Cliffs of Dover" while at the Cliffs of Dover.
