Yesterday we had our first class. It was 3 hours on an overview and brief history of the EU. Its actually been really interesting and our professor who is young and pretty cool makes it ok. Today we have a 2, 3 hour classes and are on our lunch break right now. The European perspective on how and why the EU formed is much different than what I would expect to hear from the US.
After class yesterday we took a field trip to the Bank of England. It was actually kind of a disappointment, the tour guide was pretty dull and the movie they played could put anyone to sleep. But I did lift and hold a gold brick worth £277,000!
We had our welcome dinner last night as well. It's like they knew what we would want and brought us to a pub. The food may have been bad, but the beer was good so I'm not complaining.
We got another 3 hour class in about 5 minutes and then it looks like we're going to take a trip on the London Eye.
Tomorrow we visit Parliment and then have the rest of the day free. Tomorrow should be good!
PS. the hell with Favre!

Wow, I'd actually like to hear the shorted version about the EU. When you get back, maybe share a condensed version, say 5-10 minutes? I bet it's really kinda neat.
ReplyDeleteAll your blog posts are putting me to shame. Maybe I need to post something soon just to keep up with you. ;)
Thanks for the update---keep 'em coming! Baby James says hello!
