Almost De-Jet Lagged

Well.. alright.. Ive been here 5 days.. seems like longer.. and im lovin it. This is one of the sweetest jobs.. We went over a bunch of the trips we will be going on today and i am going to be in London virtually every weekend. I will be seeing tons of plays.. possibly visiting the observatory at Greenwich, Oxford, Bath, Wales, tons of stuff. The students are great! I really enjoy hanging out with them. So far they have been really outgoing in approaching and getting to know me, so that is nice.

this morning i went for a jog with Annetta (co-SLC) thorugh the rolling hills and fields surrounding the castle. We got lost. But it was really nice! Im rather enjoying the warm weather here.

Classes begin tmrw. It feels strange not having to go to school, but i am really quite excited. I am planning on auditing a third year ARt History course. One of the amazing things about this course is that every single piece of art that we study in the class we will get to see the actual piece in an exhibit in the National Gallery in London or in one of the galleries in Paris. That is the way to study art if you ask me. Needless to say, I am excited about that.

Well, that is all for now. Ill keep writing as things happen.
