So I've been in england for almost a week now. The castle is gorgeous. Very large, I seem to get lost in a new part every day but ive managed to get to all my classes on time so far. by the way all my classes, my dorm room, the cafeteria (they call it the refectory here), the library are all in the manor house. Which is very nice sometimes because im able to practically roll out of bed and go to class. The only down side is that I hadn't stepped outside for 2 days, ok I lied it was 3, but i was sick as well. The second night we had to dress "smart" for a "high table dinner" which even included a bagpiper. i was quite impressed. They have shuttles that take us into Grantham, the town by us. Its a lot bigger and busier than I had expected, but it was a pleasant surprise. All the english people that I have met have been very kind and we seem to share a mutual fascination with one another. However, I was surprised at all the differences between here and the US. For example: they dont have folders here, randy means horny, everyone seems to be dressed to impress, lectures dont include bullet points nor power points (quite frustrating at times) and thats just to name a few. Friday morning we leave for London which should be quite exciting. I promise I will try to update the blog every couple weeks or so, but i must say im pretty impressed with myself already because anyone that knows me knows that Im awful with figuring out anything that has to do with technology. Well until later, cheerio! PS incase you dont know them, the two girl in the picture with me are Tracey and Brit. They both also go to Eau Claire, and I dont like to admit this, but Im not sure if I wouldve been brave enough to do this without them.
