Before I tell you what I've been up to I'm going to have a little moan about Ryanair and their lack of geographical skills (which frankly, for an airline, is rather worrying). They fly into an airport that they call Brussels, but it isn't Brussels main airport. Indeed it isn't even in Brussels, no, it is an hours train journey followed by a 20 minute bus journey away! That's about the same length of the flight back to England! Very annoying! Especially as I'm flying from there to go to Madrid and I have a friend flying in there in December. Cheers Ryanair! Your flights may be cheap but the costs add up afterwards don't they?!
Sorry, now I've had my little Ryanair rant I'll continue...
Where did I leave off? I reckon the last thing I wrote about was probably going to Lancaster? Since then I've been spending time with my grandparents as well as trying to cram in some work. We visited Bruges for a day and also went to Antwerp. We also went to the EU Parliament visitor centre which I did in English this time to pick up the things I missed when I did it in French. Also discovered a room which we missed last time and that I actually think was one of the best bits because it explains how the parliament actually works etc.
It has actually dawned on me now that I only have 2 clear weekends in which I can do any work because for all the others I am either away or have someone visiting. Basically I need to put my foot down and get cracking with it now. The ISTI work is going to have to take priority and DELC 310 can take a back seat, but I really don't want it hanging over me in Spain...
Today I need to get some planning done for my Law essay, although not too much as I've not had the go ahead for my topic yet, and then I have a couple of classes to go to this afternoon. Then I'm off out for a meal with my grandparents.
I leave you with a photo of a common scene across our days out this week and another to bear in mind:
