oops

in an attempt to reclaim my right to pandora, i accidentally on purpose downloaded a program that was apparently more than 5gb which is apparently the limit on downloads.
thus i will have no internet for 48 hours.
(writing this on helen's comp)
48 hours puts me at thursday at about 7pm.
unforch, thursday at about 7am (roughly?) we are leaving for edinburgh for the weekend.
so unless i come across a sudden wealth of free wifi and/or internet cafes, there will be limited communication this weekend both on the blog and in general--mom, don't freak out.
in the mean time, i am getting my reading and lsat work done with shocking efficiency...

but in other more exciting news, today we went to the crossness pumping station which was built to pump sewage into the thames way downriver in 1859-65. while the station itself was in disrepair, they have restored part of it and have a working beam engine up and running (which i got to turn on!). although the actual pumping station has been replaced, the sewers that were layed down 140 years ago are still in use, which is pretty crazy. the project was on a scale much larger than the big dig. so that's pretty neat. despite the smell.

after that we went to evensong at westminister abbey today which was SO COOL. we saw the graves of lyell and darwin among other famous people. while i may have fallen asleep during part of it, the whole effect was especially awesome due to the thunderstorm that was happening outside (and apparently causing flooding?)

also charlie (my blockmate) is in town! hooray! we're going to have dinner tomorrow night
ok helen needs her computer. but more (including pics and vid) once my internet ban is up...ugh
