Nothing too exciting has happened lately.

The Viking Festival last week was awesome. There were Vikings walking all around town so I got to meet some and take pictures with them. I visited Jorvik Viking Centre and saw some of the artifacts that were discovered from an archaeological excavation that took place here, in York. There was a Viking Comedy Walk that I went on with some friends and we laughed so hard that some of us literally fell to the groud. Saturday there was a Viking battle near Clifford's Tower re-creating the battle of Eric Bloodaxe, Vking King of York and the Saxons. It was fun to watch the Vikings growling and hitting eachother and then finally pretending to die. At the end of the battle they pretended to attack the audience and I was nearly speared by an angry Viking. The rest of the week was filled with classes and hanging out with British friends. Sadly, my camera broke on me and I had to get a new one. Rather, my parents got me a new one and it is currently on it's way to England.

After the fun of the Festival this past week has been rather slow. I'm really enjoying my art class as I have learned many screen printing techniques. I have successfully made 3 color screen prints, discharge screen prints and devoure screen prints. I need to go into the studio next week and make more of each kind so I have a nice stack to hand in. My other classes are interesting too but not as fun as I dont get to play with dyes and bleaches all day. I didnt go out at all last week as I was feeling a little ill so instead every night turned into a movie night. Friday I did go out with a bunch of friends to celebrate someone's birthday. Other than that the past week has been very low key.

I am hoping this week goes by fast and that my camera arrives by Friday as I am going to visit a friend in Scotland Saturday through Monday. I am very excited to be going!
