Life Lately

This week two of my five classes were cancelled.  Which means that I had Tuesday and Wednesday completely free in addition to my rather empty schedule (not complaining).  In an effort to not spend a lot of money (shopping, going out to eat), I've been spending time in the flat.  This has led to a lot of deep cleaning with the adorable vacuum cleaner, or hoover as they say here, and small decorating.  First up, some cute flowers I picked up for 75p since they were leftovers.  I love having these in my room!  They smell great and make me smile.  Then I made a heart garland with the paper the flowers came in.  While I enjoy these, clearly I need to get out of the flat.  

Yes, that's my vacuum cleaner

This afternoon my flatmate Petteri and I went to the Leeds Art Gallery.  Well no one told us we couldn't take pictures inside (and there were NO signs), so we wandered and took pictures until we were rudely told pictures were not allowed at all.  Oh well!  I got a few, so that's what matters.  The museum was nice, but pretty small.  There was an exhibit by Gary Hume, who is one of England's most established modern artists.  His work was pretty interesting, as well as the surrealist room.

There is a circus in town that I want to try to go to, but we'll see how it works out.  I'm slightly afraid of circuses after Phantom of the Opera and Water for Elephants.  Also, with this whole blogging thing, I'm running out of things to talk about!  Anything you guys want to hear about?  Feedback?  Let me know!
