my walk home {double post today}

i went to school today, and it was a good walk there this morning. sunny. {which is pretty seldom it seems}
there was a lecture this morning, on "critical & historical studies." that's the name of the class. i must admit, i was definitely lost throughout the entire lecture and so were many of the other kids in class. one girl drew a picture of a piece of meat with knives stuck in it and said that's how she felt during the class. hah.
i wrote in my journal about the other night and how shitty i felt. truly.
i won't write those things in here though, because aside from writing about that, it was a good day.
after class i bought paper for my "protest project" i'm working on, in which i'm drawing a lot of patterns and using stop motion animation. probably makes no sense. and it probably won't when i get done with the project too. haha
after i bought the paper, ally, and her friends cassidy & pat went to Kensington's, a coffee shop in the laines, for lunch. i got a pot of tea {i'd been to this cafe before, on the first day of school with my classmates whom i didn't know, and it was pretty weird} but this time i had much more fun. {these posts are lame, i know}.

some other kids showed up and it was really fun. chicken cruelty.
veal in england is raised fairly. they lead a good life, and if you don't eat them as veal, they get muscular and are killed anyway, so i learned we should eat them while they are young and happy. {otherwise they're shot for no purpose} hmph.

so... when i was done with my tea, i parted from them, and went on a stroll home. listening to the new kentucky quarter, pretty people to watch, camera in my pocket, and not a raindrop in sight. i was in no hurry, and i was quite groggy still from an early morning & a late last night, in london.
as i was walking past the mall downtown, an ambulance came by, sirens blaring, and everyone stopped to see where it would go. i walked past where the emergency was, and a little old lady had collapsed on the sidewalk near the supermarket. she was so tiny. it was sad, but i don't think she was really hurt. the paramedics were just asking her a few questions.
a few blocks more down the main street and i turned onto temple street towards aurelia's, when i decided to take pictures of the neighborhood. i need to remember more. each day.
as i was standing in the front of the house taking photos, a business truck-like vehicle was speeding up the road, but it stopped, so as not to get in the way of my picture. i looked at the driver and he motioned for me to take my photo, smiled and then drove away. i thought that was so nice. oh the english.

it basically made my day.
aurelia, her friend tom, and i watched "coffee & cigarettes" and had spaghetti bolognese tonight. don't ask me what that is. but it was very good.
tom is nice, i like the bikes here. tom & aurelia have nice bikes. easy books for kids.
