Merrrryyy Christmas!!!!

Here's my happy thing of the day (henceforth known as HTOD). It's more of a thing that I think is cool about being here, and is not exactly a happy thing, per se: Beautiful churches on about every other block. This church is actually owned by the University and has been converted into a lecture theatre and flats for students. Yes, students live here:

Broken-up grave

See? I'm telling the truth. "Lecture theatre" "Flats 1&2"

Someone escaped.... 

Haunted much?

Also currently improving my life is this amazing contraption: 

Classy zebra-print hot water bottle

I got this yesterday at Primark (one step up from the dollar store) for £4. I was worried it would spring a leak at night, but it didn't and instead kept me the perfect temperature ALL night long! (or at least from 4am till 8am, which is all the sleep I got thanks to AWESOME group projects.) BTW, it was zebra print or hot pink, so I went with this. It would not have been my first choice. I don't care though. It's soft and warm and awesome.

Tonight I'm going to try to make a mini Thanksgiving dinner, as I didn't have time yesterday. So I may post pics of that if I get around to it. 

Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to everyone!! Here's a crackling fireplace to warm you up:
