rain rain here to stay
well it is raining at the moment, here in london. i am sitting in the computer lab of the Bedford Square campus in London. this is the satellite campus, if you will, that postgrads must trek to for courses because of reasons i otherwise do not know understand. alas, though, here i am.
the rain is a bitter rain, is probably how i could describe it. it is bitter in the sense that it probably makes the average person a bit bitter from having to deal with it but it is also bitter in a way that it seems to have a bitter attitude toward everything else. it comes with a bit of wind so it is pointless to use an umbrella. it also comes down in a slightly annoying steady sprinkle. it just feels bitter. evil rain.
i am just around the corner from the british museum bit it is unlikely that i will be visiting that mamoth of a place anytime soon. classes have been going fine, stressful at times, and time consuming at other times. first days are always rough and i am no exception to them. if i have some free time, i will post more about how my classes went. in the meantime, just know that they were all equally filled with surprises of all sorts.
i am in a bit of an irritated mood and i can really only say that it is probably because of the gloomy rain. i'm not used to it raining every single day. it sun does come out but i mean, even if it was a beautiful day it will still rain at night. the floor is generally always wet. i'm surprised the whole of england doesn't just disappear under alll this water.
i am currently waiting for my 'music and musicology' course to begin. i am debating whether or not i should audit the 'techniques of theory and analysis' course because the first portion is all on schenkerian analysis. the second portion seems more interesting but it seems that schenker will never really leave the course. i guess it is worth learning how to do it properly so that i can teach MUS419 better than certain persons at CSUF.
speaking of such figures, i alighted (a popular british term) at russells square behind a couple from spain. one of them looked a lot like lloyd rodgers and i sort of followed him with a it of a smile because he was so much like lloyd! it was fun. i found out that his name was carlos when his wife said, 'carlos?' and he just nodded.
well that is all for now. so i don't have a picture to accompany this entry but i haven't taken out my camera lately as i've been busy with reading materials and courses. hopefully i'll get some new ones this weekend!

Embrace the rain. That's the only way you'll ever survive it. If England does start to flood under all the water, just go for a swim
