I didn't get to see any because it was cloudy at 1 am when I finally went to bed after studying and with a big day today I wasn't really up to getting up at 4 am.

I was rather disapointed. It was "clear" outside(said the up to date weather report) but when I went outside there was a thin layer of clouds. I could still see the stars but the meteors weren't showing up too great. Plus with all the light polution I couldn't see them very well. I stayed outside for a while but eventually gave up as I was cold and tired, lol.

If it wasn't on a tuesday I would have made a trip outside the city to see it. We did that a few years ago when there was a different shower and it was amazing.
