I've been doing some reading for my clinicals and have finally 
gotten my room cleaned up and organized. I haven't really been sleeping very well mainly I think due to the fact that the amount of blankets I need to keep warm at night weigh very heavily on me so I wake about every 2-3 hours. It's quite bothersome. I was hoping to sleep in today since it's a Saturday and I went to bed pretty late the night before, but nope, was out of bed before 9. I really have to give housekeeping a call on Monday... I went into the center of town today to see if any of the charity/thrift stores had any duvets/comforters for sale, but alas, none was to be found. So I guess Monday...
Like I mentioned, I went into town today with my roommate and we both got new SIMs for our phones. I actually switched mine from Orange to Lebra because it had cheaper rates for calling international and local. It costs about $0.06/min now for me to call the US with this SIM (vs $0.09/min with the previous), but all incoming calls regardless of origin are free. How sweet is that?
Also went to Sainsbury's, a local grocery store, kind of like a small Bi-Lo/A&P/Shop-rite. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from where I live (about 0.8miles). The walk was nice despite the on again-off again rain. Food and just generally everything is more expensive here. Even items on sale, it hurts making the conversion, so I've stopped at just making a cursory conversion, enough to determine which brand is the cheapest and just go with that.
I walked past a church on my way to the grocery store and it looked like it would be a good one to try out tomorrow. "Breaking Bread" starts at 10am, Sunday School at 2:30pm, and something else is in the evening around 4:30. I'm not really sure what "Breaking Bread" is... but that's around the time I'm used to going to the morning service at church, so I might try that out. I couldn't see the name of the church on the building, but it looked cool. Old traditional stone style building on the main shopping road. But for all I know it could be some Catholic Cathedral. I'll see if I can find any info on Google...

Well, didn't find any info on that church but found another one that looks like it might work, Winchester Baptist Church. After browsing their website, I'm left with mixed feelings, but I think I'll check it out since it's the most promising of the ones within walking distance to me.
