The First Week of School

Well, school has finally started for me. I've had two full days of classes so far, and I am still patiently yet excitedly waiting to find what my Charles Dickens class will be like. I'll find out tomorrow morning. I made one class change. I dropped my Islam and the West class to pick up London Theatre, and after having the latter yesterday afternoon, I know I have made the right decision. On Monday we had a 5-hour British Life & Culture class. The first half consisted of walking around London, stopping at specific sights, being lectured to while at the sight and finally taking notes....and it was cold. The second half consisted of our professor, Mr. Rumbelow, showing us slides of London and quickly running through London's 2000-year history. Our walk was with his wife, Mrs. Rumbelow. My Archaeology class met for a brief hour to go over the syllabus. I'm excited to say that in this class we will be using every resource the city offers. We will spend lots of time in The British Museum and The British Library. And London Theatre met yesterday afternoon. Our professor is not actually a professor but a theatre critic. I am very excited for this class, not only because of all that I'll learn, but Ian, our "professor", was very funny and laid-back. Today, I have no classes. In the future I know this day will be used for reading my Dickens books, but today I'll probably ventured out into the city again.

P.S. My tube rally team placed 2nd!
