Week one of school went well! I figured out my classes, met lots of new people, explored a bit, found a new art adventure and generally had a good time. I'm taking three English classes, and thats it. So its a bit crazy, and I think I'm starting to become a little bit (or a lot bit) eccentric (I say that as if I weren't already...) Today I found myself frantically typing a poem into my phone while walking down a busy street; I had to dodge people at the last second, wandered way off track and only got down the bare bones of the poem, but I felt the need to write it immediately. See? Eccentric, if not outright crazy. This city is the first UNESCO City of Literature, and I'm loving everything about it, but I think it might be affecting my mind...
On Monday I had lunch at The Elephant House of JK Rowling fame, which was really cool. I love all things Harry Potter, except the movies, so really just all book things Harry Potter, and, my goodness, this is just the perfect place to indulge. The castle looks just like Hogwarts, the roads look just like Hogsmead and there is definitely magic in the air. Oh the fantasy.
Other than that, I have been going to classes, indulging in coffee with lovely company, shopping a bit, playing my new guitar and just generally getting settled in and orienting myself.
Perhaps this should be for a different post, but I'm so excited about it I want to show you! I've been missing Hawaii a lot lately. I haven't been back in a really long time, my dad, Chris, Annabelle, and Grace just moved back, I watched The Descendants twice... so it all makes sense. I'm definitely going back this summer, but I thought to get me through, and to satisfy my need to have a craft at all times, I would quilt a pillow! So here's a picture, cause my computer is perfectly capable of taking pictures, its just not that practical to carry around...
Much love.
I assume you'll be on the look out for Diagon Alley?
