BLACK FRIDAY

I find myself using capitals a lot more lately, it makes everything seem so much more exciting than it typically is. Anyways, Friday (the so called "Black Friday"), I got up, and went to an extremely lame American History lecture. The lecturer was filling in, so he really didn't have the stuff down. It was sort of lame. I went downtown afterwards and met Emily for some coffee. They're doing this big German Christmas celebration thing downtown. It's sort of like the state fair, with stalls and stuff, except it's German Christmas stuff, complete with pretzels, bratwurst, and beer. The powers that be in Nottingham have decorated pretty intensely for Christmas, with a lot of lights. It's pretty cool at night. Anyways, a guy from Luther is here for the weekend, as well as Thanksgiving. He had originally been picked to go to Nottingham, but he dropped out in order to do a semester long program in Switzerland. Anyways, he's friends with a couple people here, so he flew over for Thanksgiving. And since he had to be shown a good time, we went downtown at night. The details are pretty boring, but we went to a sweet bar called Pitcher and Piano, that is actually housed within a deconsecrated church. It's pretty impressive. So I don't know, we went here, we went there, it started to rain, we took a taxi back here. Fairly successful. Today I'm going to the Forest game. They're playing the most notorious team in England for football violence, so it could be pretty intense.
