It's been far too long! I know I haven't updated in a while, but really, not a lot of blog-worthy things have been happening.

A while ago, my five friends and I went to York for a day on a Don't Be a Tourist trip. It was cute, but pretty small. We did a tour of the town and then went to high tea, which was delicious. Here we are in some sort of park:

Last weekend, four of my friends and I went to Manchester for the weekend. It's only about an hour bus ride, so we got there at about 10:30 in the morning, had a proper English breakfast at a little pub, then set out to explore the city. We walked around and found the main square and sat in the sun (a rarity) and people watched for a little while. Then we grabbed a cab to the Manchester United stadium and walked through the museum, then had a stadium tour. It was pretty awesome. Here we are being cute:

That night we met some friends of friends and had a fantastic night out, which meant our plans for shopping the next day didn't really happen. But for a first hostel experience, I'd say I was pretty impressed.

Other than those trips, it's been pretty standard English life over here. I finally got all of my classes figured out and I'm having a ton of fun with my Aussies (and Canadian). Hopefully I'll stay on top of this blog more from here on out!
