Linda, I wish I could’ve been home for your birthday today. Birthdays at home are some of my favorite days of the year. You’re sending me left-overs from Bonefish right?
But I had a pretty decent day in Canterbury as well. I had class from 12-1- International History with International Relations. We discussed causes of wars and how the causes can be classified into different levels. Now this could be interesting… That is, if my professor didn’t talk as though he was speaking right out of an English Textbook. Like using words such as, Denazification. Instead of just saying, The removal of the Nazis.
After class, I met Cathrin and Steph for lunch at Origins, a tex-mex restaurant on campus. We continued our discussion of travel plans for the semester and went to the library and booked our trip to Cardiff!
Then I went to Spanish again from 4-5. My teacher claimed that Spanish adjectives go BEFORE the noun. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the usually go after… That’s what it says on our handout anyways. If I want to learn any Spanish at all this semester, it’ll be by teaching myself.
Right after Spanish, I met my new friend Didier for my first French lesson. And how incredibly embarrassing. The pronunciation is just so much more difficult than English and Spanish. I don’t know if I’ll ever get the R sound down. So we worked on the basics for about an hour, (which I did NOT get down.), then I headed home.
At home, I had a wonderful dinner of cereal and bread, and got ready to go out. Stephanie and I headed to the Penny Theatre in town for a Pound for Pint night. See Mom, I am on a money diet. We were supposed to meet Sarah there, but for the first time since I’ve been to the UK, I was actually CARDED to get in. Of course this would happen after my wallet was stolen. The bouncer took no pity on me, so Stephanie and I went to a quaint little pub with live music and hung out there instead.
We only stayed for about an hour, making sure we got back to the bus station for the last run of the evening. I guess we read the sign wrong because we were about 15 minutes late. Walk or taxi? Stephanie voted on taxi, so we paid 6 pounds each, just to get home.
So not a bad night. Not a great night. A few setbacks, but we still had fun. Today, I’m studying in the library until 2ish, and then probably heading into town. Cheers!
