classes are here

This was me and Krisann's "rain is frustrating and sad faces"And then theres our very wet shoes and pants...and that cute dog was waiting outside the grocery store for its owner. It was trained to just sit there and wait!


Today was the first day of classes...and part of me was looking foward to it because then I will start to get a routine down, and not feel like I'm on a 4 month vacation...Then, we had class and I was reminded that I actually have to DO schoolwork here. HaHa. I will try to concentrate and get things done as quickly as I can. Part of what makes it hard is because each class is 2 hours and 50 minute long. What I am really excited about though, is getting to go SEE the things we are learning about. For example, we were talking about Bloody Mary and how she killed tons of people. Well, 2 of the Protestants that she killed were killed in downtown Oxford. There is a memorial that is still there today, which I plan on going to see.


In INTS, Great Britain, we listened to part of the Prime Minister's Questions broadcast. I thought it was so interesting that people could ask the prime minister whatever they wanted, and basically make fun of him to his face while a huge group of followers , yells, cackles, boos and laughs in the background. It's just so different than how the President of the US does not really have to experience that kind of "attack" on his beliefs and knowledge every single week. We are required to listen to the Prime Minister's Questions every week and I am actually looking foward to that.


After class today, it was POURING! and me and Krisann wanted to go get groceries. So we got soaked, we complained, and we laughed. I including pictures for your entertainment.


Tomorrow I just have 1 class at 1:30, so I am definetley sleeping in. I havent been able to sleep well the past few nights. I've been tired when I go to bed, but then I just can't sleep.


Well, I hope all is well in the states! =)
