Inspired I love England. There is a very specific reason for this declaration, some of you anxious readers might think it is for the vast and varying history that indulges your very senses when you set foot on this rainy, windy, grey Island, but I assure you that it is not. Some also might think it is for their literary history that stretches from tales of King Arthur’s Court to the banks of heaven itself, I assure you that is not the reason I love England. I came to England to immerse myself in those very things yes, but instead I am finding myself caught up in a very different life, and without my conscious knowledge I have found myself looking beyond the visage of history, literature and lore to find England, that is to ... read more

Week (and a half) in Review Well let’s see, my life over the past week and a half has been filled with school and a cold. Classes are classes; there is nothing that exciting about being a student. I received my first essay deadline, which should make the next two weeks a ball of joy, and my physics class remains the most banal thing in the history of the world. A slight update on the joys of learning the English language. I have added the words "whirly-gig" and "mignon" to my vocabulary recently. I did have the chance to go whitewater kayaking in Hertfordshire, on the River Wye. Unfortunately, my camera is still out of commission and there are no pictures of the event. For those of you who are not whitewater enthusiasts I apologize ... read more

Well I suppose it is time for me to update everyone on my first few days at the University of Bristol. Really my life has been a blur since getting here, which is not a surprise as I am busy 97.5% of the time. The flat that I moved into is rather nice. I have four “lovely” flatmates, a great sized kitchen (with a little balcony?!? - pictures to come later) and a bedroom. Cooking for myself has been a slight adventure, although I think that I am the only one of my mates who actually knows how cook anything besides soup from a can. They are all very enthusiastic and jazzed at being at “Uni” for the first time. Quite frankly though I am not used to having to expend this much energy all the ... read more

Written in Amsterdam Well, at this point I have been awake for twenty-four hours. Really this shouldn’t be a big deal (I mean I am a college student) but right now as I sit in the Amsterdam Airport for going on 8 hours all I can think about is finding a bed and closing my eyes. However, in lieu of sleeping I decided to write my flight-blog now instead of waiting until I was not falling asleep on my feet. Truly I believe that some of my best writing comes when I am beyond tired (read anything that I have written in a college class) and if it is not my best than at least it is amusing. I started out this morning (8:15 am CST) by frantically unpacking and repacking my bags in a ... read more
