Well, things are still going well here. There's still a bit of snow on the ground from when it snowed last weekend. Most of it has melted/turned to slush and then has refrozen because it's so darn cold. It's been an adventure walking around campus. I'm not the most graceful person in the world and one of my biggest fears is slipping on ice and hurting my bum! Other than that though, it's been going well.
The plan for this weekend was to go to York where they are having a Viking Festival. Apparently there's a museum there and everything. We were going to go and stay the night on Saturday that way we could visit the museum and different things on Saturday and Sunday. Then, we checked on accommodation for Saturday night. I guess we didn't realize that the Viking Festival was so popular. There's nowhere to stay. So now we're essentially back to square one. There's still the possibility of going to the festival next weekend because it runs through then. But now we're trying to figure out where to go this weekend. We've been here three weeks and haven't ventured outside of Newcastle. It's a beautiful place, but I'm ready for a change in the scenery. Hopefully we'll be able to figure out somewhere to go. If we don't come to an agreement, I may just have to venture out on my own...or with some other students who are going somewhere this weekend. I'm ready to see some more of the UK!
