Still not working... But Guest Blogged by Mah Human: Susan

Well, my computer is still acting up badly and I am unable to upload pictures through web browsers... My next step will be to save the pictures onto a flash drive and do it through one of my flat-mate's computers. So please, be patient! I'm trying! I want to get them out really fast too because they are piling up! Zeke is too cute.

For an update, today we went to Kew Gardens. It was beautiful and a stunningly nice day! Got some of Zeke in nature. On the way home, I split off from the group and ran over to the British Museum for trip #1. I will be popping in and doing research for a set of papers for my independent study / World Civilizations class. Today I looked at the Assyrian and Egyptian remains, as well as some of the Elgin marbles. Then I got a 2 pound ticket to watch the old movie "The Fall of Rome". I only made it half way through, but it was interesting!

Other than that we've had two interesting things happen. First is that my roommate Jenica and I have "viral chest infections". She went to the doctor and he told her that she is almost to pneumonia.... I didn't go to the doctor but figure it's just likely that's what I have. But things seem to be getting better! Other than a cough that sounds like the plague, I seem to be turning upwards.
The second fun thing was that the washer on the floor above us was shaking too much that it broke the water pipe and it flooded not one, not two, not three, but FOUR floors! Unfortunately, none of us were in our flat that time of day and people were stuck outside our flat, looking under the door, seeing water splash and move towards the door. When they got into the room water was *pouring* out of the light fixture in the ceiling where? RIGHT on top of my laptop!!!! Thankfully the lid was closed and RJ, Robin's boyfriend, got in first and was smart enough to move it, dry it off, and turn it off. So yep, I am now using a computer that has survived a whole bowl of tomato soup, dropping off a top bunk bed, and a major flooding, none of these harmful acts caused by me!! If that's not a testament to Mac computers, I don't know what is....
Thankfully I don't think anything other than a few books in each of the rooms got ruined. My computer was the only piece of personal electronics to get wet, and well, it's a zombie computer that survives everything.

Well that's it for the excitement going on over here. The rest of the weekend seems to be my 4 papers (two 3-pagers for World Civ, one 5-ish for World Civ Independent Study, and one for business) and if I feel that I have enough time, a "sightseeing cruise" on the Thames.
Hopefully there will be lots of picture updates soon! So sorry for the delay!

Zeke will be back next time,
Loves, Susan

belated Birthday pictures!


Mah human's birthday! The card was from two of her roommates, and we ordered pizza!


Nooooo! It's mine! Don't steal my pear cider!

Unfortunately, uploading images is still causing a lot of problems. So posts might get smaller? We will see

Still no pictures =(

Well, the internet is still taking an incredibly looooong time to try to even upload pictures... so mah human is going to wait until she uses the free internet in her classroom tomorrow for more pictures!
Recently it's been raaaiiinnny here. When mah human and I went to Stonehenge it was so windy and rainy! It made me wonder how the early settlers even survived.
Yesterday mah human went to a Southwestern alumni event where they all met at a pub (and got pints paid for!) and then went out to a GREAT Indian restaurant, which was also paid for by the generous hosts. I hear it was AMAZING... but since I can't fit into her small purse, I wasn't brought along.... sad news. Then walking back, mah human and her friend stopped into a Middle Eastern bakery along with her history teacher and his wife and bought some unknown sweets. One of them looked like a donut... but that got eaten before I could try to steal it.

Anywho, today is homework day so I'm napping all day.
Lots of pictures tomorrow, hopefully!

Bring Zeke to Class Day!!!!

Hooray! Today was bring your Zeke to class day!


Here I am blogging in the CAPA computer lab. Capa is the organization who runs my human's abroad program. The underground runs right behind that window!


This is Debbie! She works at the CAPA office and is lovely. (She works hard too!)


This here is Dr. Neville and her Captain Ruter. They're pretty cool. She teaches the business classes here.


Getting ready for class...


I found my seat already.


Eek... budgets are scary!
And pie graphs should really give you pie....


Here's some of the rest of the class. Captain Ruter is still sittin' with me.


Alright, and we're ready to go!

More later with me and captain ruter....

Happy Labor Day!....

but today my human had classes.... no labor day over here!
Since she was at class all day, and I napped all day (and briefly looked at her mostly boring books)... i thought I'd add just a few more pictures from this past week.
Maybe some day soon will be "bring your Zeke to school day!"



A view of the Tate Modern. I love this building, though I dream of trying to climb the tower...


Cait and my human posing in front of St Albert Hall. Cute, but not as cute as me.


The girls again in the crowd at the Olympic Hand-off. Cait isn't too good at taking these eh?

Dinner and homework time! More soon!
