Maths drama

My adventure stories class was really fun today, since we were talking about Huck Finn (and the plot of Tom Sawyer). I again had fun listening to Brits trying to read out of the book; my professor was going to have me read a chunk but we ran out of time since we got sidetracked with other conversations. It was still really interesting to hear the British take on a novel I've read at least twice for school already, and also interesting to hear their take on the language used (I assured them that being American did not make it much easier to understand it the first time I read it).

I managed to get to the gym for a little bit today, as I felt a bit healthier. I'm worried that this cough isn't going to go away for a long time, though, since that happens to me sometimes.

I chatted a bit with a girl named Millie in Actuarial today, since she came in a minute or two late and asked to look at my notes to catch up. It was a good day to have someone to talk to, two guys got into a fight on the other side of the room (I don't know what one was doing, but the other finally yelled at him to "stop messing around," and our professor threw him out; the guy who got thrown out promised repeatedly that he would be waiting outside for the one who'd been antagonizing him). It was quite shocking.

We went to Brick Lane again, since we were all craving curry and nan, and Kevin and Vanessa's friends from home were intrigued to see the haggling and try the food. Caitlin ended up getting us a good deal at Chutneys, but I felt like a star- Haider vetoed this one place since he didn't like it's atmosphere, but I got us two rounds of drinks, starters, main, nan AND rice, for eight pounds a head. We ended up with nine pounds a head and only one round of drinks at Chutneys, which did feel a bit nicer, but the guy down the street tried to steal me into the restaurant as we walked away. I don't think he understood that kidnapping people is not a good way to get business.

We went to Vanessa's for a little while to have brownies (since I made some mint ones last night) and hot cocoa. Some of her flatmates were talking about how Dixie Chicken and a brownie ended up being their tea (having gotten out of bed at three, it was, of course, tea time) and a healthier tea there had never been.
