Well, I would wish all of you a happy Lent but Lent isn't supposed to be happy, so...Lent. I was going to give up coffee but a series of unfortunate events (rain, cold-induced sleep deprivation, etc.) have conspired to prove to me that I am no longer capable of existing without coffee. Sadness.
Also, this morning I got to take advantage of a wonderful perk of Caffé Nero...their Loyal Customers stamp card. Basically, every time you get a coffee you get a little light blue card stamped, and after 9 stamps you get a free beverage of your choice! Since it was gratuit, I decided to go all-out today and get a regular mocha with a shot of sugar-free caramel...which, for any Caribou Coffee-lovers out there, is as close to a Turtle Mocha as you can get. I'm now sitting waiting for Philo of Law to start and it. is. delicious.
Tonight is Ash Wednesday program Mass at the London Centre...I'm excited because I love our program chaplain, Father John. I also have my first test of the semester today, in Macroeconomics, and it should be a breeze...emphasis on "should." We studied last night for it and then tried an ill-starred attempt to make traditional British pancakes for real Pancake Day. The universe conspired against us in every way possible...our pans were crap, the stovetop wouldn't stay at a consistent temperature, and we couldn't get the texture or thickness of the batter right. All we had when we were done was a doughy mess of pancake goo, so we surrendered good-naturedly and ate Nutella instead :)
Class time now, gotta dash! Happy...well, Lent. !!
