I Have Bad News...

Greetings all, the last couple weeks have been filled with such splendor that I feel I would not do them justice with my meager recollections. Thus I will just let everyone know I'm still alive, and in just over a week I will be on a plane back to the good ol' U-S-of-A. I look forward to seeing you all and hearing about your own adventures while I transversed the mountains of Munich and hitchhiked across the English Channel. Good luck surviving the next week, I'll certainly need it to get all my homework done!

P.S. Look at the funny letters I can do on the German keyboard! äö§µßü So silly!

Current mood: nostalgic

Eye Haf Vire Tearibl Noos...

Hey y'all. Back from Scotland and killing time in London until our field trip to a mosque and the key ceremony at London Tower

York was very fun: I saw a play, played hackey sac, watched my classmates get plastered and sit on each others' laps, went to a chocolate factory, learned a great deal about *gasp* international business, played Egyptian Rat Slap—or something like that—until all hours of the night when the security guard kicked us out for being too rowdy, swallowed my tongue ring, witnessed a rugby teams crazy craziness, and basically enjoyed myself in general.

Edinburgh consisted of a ten mile walk to the wrong Argyle St., a ten mile walk back to the right one, a haunted hostel, four Polish bricklayers and a musically induced seizure, [helping] cook lunch for ten (where we bought way too much food), numerous piercings, countless drunken debaucheries, a Norwegian girl getting her purse stolen, passing my tongue ring, SPACEBALLS!, cold and rainy weather, and a five hour train ride back to London.

All in all I'd give York and Edinburgh (on a scale of 1 to sweet): a gnarly. Being that our law firm visit was canceled this morning I'm off to Camden Town to find a piercing/tattoo shop... :) Wish me luck!

I Have Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad News...

This week was a bit less mind-blowing then the previous one, yet still entertaining enough to allow me to press on. Below is one thing per day I found worthy of sharing.

Monday: We talked to a homeless person in class.

Tuesday: We had class in a pub.

Wednesday: In Introduction to International Business we had a friend of our teacher's daughter talk to us about the Oxford school structure. Interesting, but... really?

Thursday: Went to open mike night and experienced some poetry, examples include: "Ants Are Going to Take Over the World", "Dracula Has AIDS", and "Dinosaurs Died of Indigestion". It was dandy.

Friday: Went to a circus! All human, all fun! Quite entertaining.

Saturday: Guy Fawkes Day! This is the English version of Independence Day, so there was plenty of fireworks and blowing things up all night long.

Sunday: I... did homework. Yeah, exciting I know.

Also due to the fact that some of us feel our classes lack a bit in the 'learning' portion, we have decided to take it into our own hands. Tonight we are going to meet at a pub and present on and discuss the topic we have each researched for the past week. It may sound nerdy, but I'm quite anticipating the feeling of actual growth in my lobal regions. It isn't that our classes are bad, they just don't have much substance. I am not complaining though, less substance = better grade. :)

Talk to you all sometime next week upon my return from Scotland. Spamalot is only two weeks from now! Yipee!
