Adventures In Europe

MY TIME ABROAD

Thursday, January 12, 2006

Today we finished the academic lectures for our orientation period. Two of them were actually interesting, the others were more like a snooze fest. The first Professor spoke about the Historic Economics of London. I got my reading done for my class tomrorow and wrote a nice leaflet for Anais and Jen. The interesting Professor spoke about the Government and Constitution of Britain. The Dean of the program spoke about the Grand Tours of Europe that took place in the 17th and 18th century. The last lecture should have been interesting because it was about the creativity of the British in the modern era, but the lecturer was rather dry.

Tonight we went out on the town and places were actually open. We went to this cute Irish pub that I liked, and the drinks weren't that expensive, more my scene than the clubs. Tomorrow night we are planning to head to a younger scene away from South Kensington.

My parents are looking into finalizing their plans to come out and see me in March. Hopefully they will get that done soon and we can plan some things out for that. Also the girls and I are working on getting out act together for Spring Break along with the other short weekend trips that we want to make. I am also planning on learning about some of the football culture so I don't feel so awkward at the pubs.

I have my first British Television since 1945 class tomorrow. I hope that the class is more interesting than the reading that we had to do for it.

Cheers!
