I officially feel like a student now. I've successfully completed and handed in two of the four essays I have to do for this entire semester. The papers were way too easy. 2000 words on how the Roman Empire was successful (ie. the army) and then 2000 words on the New Left and the counter culture in the 1960s. It was a task handing them in though. You cant turn them into the tutors, they go to the Faculty of Arts and a coversheet/form has to be filled out and then you get a reciept saying you handed it in. Its kind of strange.

I had a visitor yesterday!! Kara, a friend from Potsdam/Wegmans, came to York! She was in the UK visiting some other people and came to York to see me too! It was fun. I didn't get to hang out with her a lot as I had class yesterday and I was a little busy today. We went out to the Evil Eye last night though to celebrate my birthday a little and because it was Kara's favorite pub in York. She bought me an amazing drink called Heaven which was basically like a mudslide. Also, I discovered that there is a cider called Katy - which is basically named after me!! So we just hung out at Evil Eye with Martin, Phil, Helen, Serena and Kes for a while. On the way home, after yummy paninis, we kind of ding-dong ditched the Minster. It was funny.

Tomorrow is the best holiday ever!! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
