Goodness! Everything is happening so fast. In just a blink of an eye, prices just skyrocketed. Let's take a look at some price changes:
1. Nissin instant noodles from GBP0.29 to GBP0.32 (+10%)
2. Iceland Pizza from GBP0.80 to GBP1 (+25%) - On 7 March, the price was still the old price but I discovered the new price yesterday.
3. "The Economics of Exchange Rates" from GBP26.59 to GBP27.99 (+5.3%) - I bought the book on 9 March and when I checked today, the price had changed. I should have bought it at the beginning of the year when it still cost around GBP21 but I hesitated as I was running low on fund.
4. Set dinner in Varsity from GBP5 to GBP5.50 (+10%)
I shall attempt to continue tracking the changes in the price of goods.
On another note, today has been a good day. First day of temporary liberalisation. I did nothing in the morning. Took brunch (seriously unlike me as I tend to eat a lot). Watched "House" (totally addicted to the show now). Checked the mailbox and discovered, to my delight, my books from Amazon had arrived. Yippee...and it's all for my upcoming final exam...nothing fictional at all! Then, headed to Tesco for grocery shopping as I can no longer bear eating frozen or instant food. I should mention at this point that my thoughtful flatmate made dinner for me last Tuesday, knowing that I didn't have time to cook. Next, went to the business school to help a friend besides printing journals for my dissertation (Okay, so I am officially a nerd. I have no choice). The day ended with an end-of-term party in the students' lounge. It was quite cool relaxing in the lounge as most of us realised we never took time to appreciate the design of the place amid our rush for classes. Kinda sad that it's coming to an end...
