Still Raining

This week is a rather boring prospect to blog about I must say.  Mostly the days are in a pattern of: wake for breakfast, back to the room for 15 minutes to brush teeth/take a vitamin/check e-mail, off to lecture x 2 (though we will have only one lecture tomorrow and none on Friday I guess), back to the room to deposit books/bag/check-Facebook, off to lunch, back to room for study, tea break, study, off to dinner, back to room, out on an evening walk with Alix usually (she spells her name with an ‘i’ so I have to go back at some point and correct previous posts), back to the room to play a little PSP Final Fantasy IX and talk to Bruno before going to bed.  Lather, rinse, repeat. 

It is rainy and gray and has been all week, and the reason I am spending such a bulk of my time in my room is both because I need to study for the upcoming exam and because there are a number of people who have taken over the common room, which is not really intended to be a place of study but of socialization as I understand things, to do quiet reading and no one really wants to be the jerks disturbing their earnest studying.  There are rooms provided for such purposes – chiefly our own dorm rooms, but also the lecture hall (which I understand has been occupied by a clique of girls who both study and do yoga there in the evenings) and the seminar room which goes unused I think primarily because no one is totally sure if they are allowed to use it for anything and it is very ‘out of the way’ so some people may not even know where it is.

Just before sunset, on the way to dinner through the rain, the sun struggled to peep through the slate gray sky and made a rainbow.
