Long Day

Today was one of those necessary evil days - we had 4 hrs of auditorium presentations on using the Library, IT Services, Plagiarism, and the Career Service.  Some useful information, but most of it could've been found on the internet.  On top of that, I waited around while working on our assignment to intentionally take the 6:20pm bus, that turned out never coming.  It is a different route and run by a different operator.  It wound up working out because there were others waiting for the same bus, so we split a taxi 4 ways back to Milton Keynes.  That turned out to only be 2£ each.

I did finally find a few water coolers around, I hadn't noticed any before.

The exciting stuff though: our bus leaves for Silverstone at 9:30am tomorrow morning.  It's too bad I have to go 30 mins to campus just to take the bus back towards my house to get to Silverstone.  None of us are really sure what all the day will consist of.  I'm sure we'll get a tour of everything, and one of the lecturers strongly hinted that we would get to drive something that was both open wheel and single seater, so that should be cool.  Maybe we'll continue to get lucky with the rain too (knock on wood for me please).

It will be weird to not be able to watch the MLB playoffs start tomorrow.  If we had Sky Sports in the house I might have a slight chance of catching some, but we don't.

I should probably go now, hope to have some pictures for you tomorrow.
