April 2nd

Class this morning was a catch up day. This was the first time we had had this class in almost a month, so we had some catching up to do. We had a bunch of museums to cover and we talked a little more about World War II and started talking about Churchill a little bit and what it takes to be a hero in your county’s eyes. We were going to talk about a section of a book we read, but we didn’t have time. The teacher was felling pretty kind and ended up letting us out early. That was really nice.

After class I went with a couple to Kew gardens again. That was really nice. We followed pretty much the same path that I had gone on when everyone was out to visit, but we got in a few more things as well. It was a brilliant day for it too. The sun was out and shining and there was a nice little breeze. Just a perfect day really. We stopped and grabbed some food at the Orangery and sat out front on the lawn. We ended up just sitting out there for close to two hours enjoying the day. Woops. We moved on after that and explored the park some more. A lot of the plants had started blooming or were already in bloom. The rhododendrons were especially nice when we went. The smells were great too. You’d be walking a long a path and the wind would change all of a sudden and you’d get this blast of flowers. It was so nice.

When I got back home from that I got myself some lunch and set to work. I had a lot of pictures I wanted to go through and a lot of writing to catch up on. I wrote in my blog and journal for a long time and was all set with those. Other than that I didn’t do a whole lot. I got stuff all unpacked and set from my trip last weekend and then started getting things ready for my trip this weekend.

I got up this morning and wasn’t feeling all that great. I was still really sore from football on Sunday and the air here has been taking a toll on me. There is just so much crap in the air that I breath in when I run. Its just like running sand through an engine, it just rips everything up. I go away on the weekends and I’ll be fine, but as soon as I start running here, a wrench gets thrown into the works. Oh well, just a few more weeks now.

Work today was pretty good. Damien had gotten things pretty much set up with the DVD so that was almost ready to go. He still needed to get some things done with it though, so I couldn’t finish it up today. Instead, I worked on the market survey. I was going through company press releases and documentation trying to find out how much, if any, organic cotton they sold last year. It wasn’t really all that hard or anything, it was just boring. Having to wade through pages of company policy statements and goals to find a one sentence blurb about cotton is kind of boring. But, like I said, its not hard so it wasn’t that bad. I managed to get through almost the entire list Damien had given me, so I was happy about that. I even came across a couple other companies that he hadn’t found, so that was good.

I got back home and made myself some dinner. Good stuff. I really didn’t do much after that. I traded some music for a while and watched some CSI. That was my thing for the evening. I did do some homework though right before I went to bed.
