My trip to York

So I went to York yesterday. I'll start by saying that York's a really nice place, a really historic region. There were plenty of things to do, and I was always doing something for the full 7 hours we were there. So I got some history lessons, some spooks (although I didn't get to see any ghosts! Too early! :( ) and loads of exercise.

Now the other side of the coin. It was a miserable day. We got there and it was raining, and I figured it would rain for the whole day so I just carried along. I went over the the castle thing (I already forgot the name... I guess I could've Google'd it up and passed it as if I remembered, but that'd be cheating...) and I even went to the real top... with the rain slapping me in the face and the wind almost throwing me off. Perhaps that's why it said "restricted access"... lol. Yeah, I know, it's not the smartest thing to do to break the rules in England, but I didn't get caught.

So after a while (well, minutes really) I'm all soaked and there's no sign of the rain stopping, so I go into the Dungeons and when I come out it has stopped raining. Yay! Well, not really... now the wind is strong, and as I'm all soaked the cold really hits me. So much that I'm trembling--so much that it looks as if though I'm having a convulsion. So I have to go about my business for the rest of the day like that... I had some time to dry up in the Railway Museum where I watched an orchestra play for half a hour... and then I went to the York Brewery for a tour where I finished drying up (except for my socks and shoes...). That had to be the best tour of them all. We got free beer lol (well, not free beer, but included in the tour).

So as you've guessed, I'm a bit sick today. That's great. But again, aside from that, it was a great trip. When I got back to Newcastle I was all "home!! I'm home!!" and then when I got off the coach it was as cold as York (well, it was 8pm) and that's when I said "damn England..."

Today's been a really cold day. Therefore, I stayed in my flat all day. I was sick, anyway, so I decided to rest it off in the worst day of the week. So nothing much thrilling today, just reading for my marketing class (so much reading!) and now testing a program and then I'm going to start on an essay. Ah, uni life...

Weather watch: Miserable day. I guess that's all you'll hear from now on. I won't be seeing the sun again until April, apparently. 7 degrees (but no rain!) at the moment.
