Today was a bit of a break. I didn't have to go to work this morning so I got to sleep in a little bit. I went for a little longer run than normal because I didn't have a chance to the day before. It was a nice morning and it felt really good. The mornings have been just about perfect for running. There hasn't really been any wind to speak of in the morning and the weather is cool but not cold. Just beautiful. I got back and made myself some lunch. Nothing special, just food. I had some time to sit around before I had to go to class. I can't say I really did much until I got to class today.
Justin's class was pretty fun today. We are talking about the Jack the Ripper murders and we went over the details of each of the murders and interesting facts about each of them. There were things like the fourth victim gave a false name to the police that turned out to be the name of the last weekend. The last name of the fourth victim was the same as the estranged husband of the first. He also talked about why it has persisted for so long. As in the reasons that the story resonates with people even to this day. For example, there are societies devoted to discovering who the murder is. What is it about this murder that evokes such a string emotional response in people. He also talked about what is called psycho geography. This is the powerful impact that a place can have on a person's mind and pull out strong emotions. He thought there is something about the places that the murders that were committed that has something to do with this. I personally don't know but I think its an interesting subject none the less.
After class I went with a couple of people to get some food at the Sandwich shop. I decided to mix it up and got one of the pizzas that they have there. They have a bunch of other things there besides sandwiches which I had not tried yet. It turned out pretty good. It had ham, pineapple (whatever dad), onions and mushrooms. It wasn't much more expensive than a sandwich, so yeah. Good stuff. Class itself was pretty good tonight. We talked about Mary Poppins for the most of the time. WE also went over the process the actors and directors go through breaking down the parts of a scene to figure out how to act it. I was pretty tired at this point, but I think it was pretty interesting.
After class almost the entire class, including the prof, went out to pub near by. That was a lot of fun. I really like the fact that I can go out to a pub with my teacher and its not a big deal. It was pretty cool. We talked for awhile and I asked him about a couple of shows. One of the guys there was even nice enough to buy us all a round of drinks. A good night overall. The reason we had gone out was to celebrate Valentine's day. I'm not going to complain about getting out of class early.
When I got back, I sat on my computer to see if Katie was around. We managed to talk for while, so that was really nice. Skype was even being really cooperative and worked almost the entire time without any problems. That was really nice. I finished talking to her and then went to bed.
