So apparently my inorganic chem lecture was cancelled today. I had a suspicion it might have been, but hadn't heard anything definitive. So I showed up at 11 along with maybe 8 other people. That was the first clue that there was no lecture. The second was the prof not showing up either and everyone else leaving. So I've got an extra hour to do, well... hmm... nothing.. For some reason I can't find enough to entertain myself with lately. At home I spent quite a lot of time just doing nothing and I was perfectly happy with that. But here.. Anytime I've got nothing to do, I'm horribly bored. I need to find the nearest library me thinks. And buy some more milk so I can make biscuits.. That'll entertain me for a wee while anyway..

I've been feeling a bit homesick lately too. It's nothing like the first two days I was here when I was quite miserable anytime I thought about home. Now it's just a quiet, below the surface sort of homesickness. I only notice it when I'm not really doing anything. Mostly when I'm walking back from class at the end of the day. A while ago, before this sort of set in, I kept feeling like my time here was going way too fast and it was running out and suddenly I'd find myself back at home and it'd be over. Now I feel like another 7 and a half months is too long.
