It's pouring right now. In London, it seems to rarely pour and often mist. I'm staring out my window watching it come down. I won't be surprised if the sun is shining in a half hour.

When I tried to shower this morning the water was cold. Very uncool.

I solved my Arabic problem. Not sure if I wrote about it, but I miserably failed my placement exam for Arabic and so I was going to have to go into beginner Arabic. Didn't really want to do that, as beginner Arabic is at 9 in the morning. However, I found a colloquial Arabic class that should substitute quite nicely.

Anyway, I went to St. Albans Cathedral today with my aunt and her girlfriend. They are probably one of the loveliest couples I've ever been around. They took me out for a pint and a half (I was kind of drunk at 3:30, haha), cooked me a huge Sunday feast, drove me back to London, invited me to take trips with them, and gave me money besides. They are truly generous and wonderful people and I really enjoyed spending the day with them. I also got to talk to my grams.

I've gotten my dad a present from one of the many Socialist groups on campus. They asked me to donate in exchange for the present, which seemed ironic to me since they're Socialists.

Anyway, my contacts are burning and it's most certainly time to tuck in.
