Today I went on the Jane Austen walking tour which was wonderful. We walked all around Bath seeing important sights for Jane Austen. We started in the Pumps rooms where Catherine Morland and Isabella would have gone and then went on to see some other baths that Jane and her brother Edward visited. We then went down Pultney Bridge and went across to see where Jane lived at 4 Sydney Place. Then we went on to Queen Square, the Royal crescent, the Circus and then to the Assembly Rooms. The Assembly Rooms are so beautiful the chandeliers are my favorite part [View Full Entry]

Soo after Amsterdam we went on to Prague which was an amazingly beautifully city! I defiantly think that I enjoyed Prague more than Amsterdam perhaps because I have never been there before. We arrived in Prague by plane on Tuesday and hit the ground running. We set our stuff down and right away we let Matt naviagte but he got us lost and though we found a lovely church we still were very lost : ). We found a lovely park and found a main shopping street. That night we met up with Meggie a girl from ASE who was also [View Full Entry]

Ok now that I am home in Bath I can sit down and give everyone an overview of Amsterdam!! Thursday and Friday- We (Me, Meagan, Bridget, Matt, John, Tom and Dhairya) left Bath on the 10:45 PM train because we had an early flight and we decided we were just going to stay up all night rather than paying for a hotel (not a bright idea!) so we arrived at London Paddington at about 1:00 and had to taxi to London Victoria just to wait out in the cold for 2 and 1/2 hours for the Gatwick express to start to [View Full Entry]

Ok so in my blogs I have realized that I have not given my house mates any airtime. I mean everyone at home should know the characters/lovely people that I am living with because it is too much fun. There are eight of us in the house plus we have an adopted member named Julia from the house across the road. I live with 5 other girls and 2 guys. We have had such a wonderful time together soo far. The great thing about our house i feel like is that everyone gets along, is laid back and enjoys each others [View Full Entry]

It has been a calm week of writing papers and working at the Centre. Tomorrow we are going hiking in Wales so expect pictures from that Saturday or so. I wrote my first paper for Jane Austen class this week. I wrote on " Jane Austen's novels warn against the dangers of reading. Discuss?". It was an enjoyable paper to write but i am still a little scared : /.Yesterday we got to talk about versions of Pride and Prejudice which was so interesting. We did not get to watch my favorite version which is the 80s one but we watched [View Full Entry]
