Yankee Doodle Dandy

This is the Wills Memorial building. I'm not sure what's inside, but it's part of campus. It chimes on the hour (but this one doesn't play Come Come Ye Saints lol). Before we bought a clock, this guy would chime and we would drop everything and listen to see what time it was.
Another view of the building. We sat and ate a light lunch here. There's lots of spots to just sit and relax.
The boulangerie is where we got our food, including a chocolate chip shortbread and a fruity flapjack (kind of an oatmeal raisin plus cranberries thingy).

Our teeny jar of salsa. I'm gonna need a lot more than this....

Yo Sushi! This is where we ate dinner today :) The sushi goes around on a conveyor belt and you pick what you want! It was really yummy, we'll definitely go back.


Dessert! We chatted with a guy from California at the Sushi place and right before he left he told us to go to the Krispy Kreme downstairs! So we got some yummy sugary American sweets for dessert. Mine was the pumpkin; Nathan got a lemon merangue donut. Yay!


So our first England experience at the movies was really funny, albeit annoying. We went to go see Grown Ups (Back to the Future wasn't there anymore). We sat through all 20 minutes of trailers and when the movie started, it was Buried! If you're not familiar with the movie, it's the one where Ryan Reynolds is buried alive. If you're not familiar with Nathan and myself, we are both claustrophobic. Nathan and some other guy got up to go talk to someone, meanwhile I'm stuck in this dark theater listening to Ryan Reynolds breathe. Holy crap, the first 10 minutes of the movie is so uncomfortable, I just sat curled in a ball covering my eyes waiting for it to stop. *shudder* Anyway, so the movie cut off and a guy came in and told us they were fixing things and we wait another 15 minutes ish for the real movie to start. Then the first couple seconds were upside down!!! Everyone started to laugh since at this point it was getting comical. Things ran smoothly the rest of the film. It's just funny that our very first movie overseas had disasterous beginnings. Maybe it's just a fluke, we'll see how other movie viewings go.
I saw a guy in a kilt today.
They have a Disney store here! We found it today! But sadly they're not hiring. :( Why can't the jobs I want just hire me and why can't some things just be easy. Wah.
Star Wars day tomorrow! Lets see how nerdy Bristol can be :)

So was the sushi made out of the fish that nibble people's feet? lol
