In Other News...

Hello mates!

I just wanted to start by saying that I was wrong about the squirrels in England. It has been confirmed by a Brit that there are indeed squirrels in England, of two different varieties: the red squirrel and the grey squirrel. The grey squirrel came over from the United States and chased the red squirrels into hiding. The organization that is trying to save the squirrels, though, is just another non-prof that targets uni students to tug at their heartstrings... and their pursestrings (the Brit's words, not mine). Imagine that...

I'm becoming more adjusted to life here. Modules are going well. Sacred Texts is such an interesting course, but my favorite module is Poetry. Bonkers, I know, since normally I dread trying to intrepret poetry. But for some reason, this class is just so - fascinating. And the theories I hear and learn - bonkers! Christian Union has been fun to go to, but I feel like a frosh (freshman) there because Hannah, Laura, and I are still new to it and don't really know anyone. Bible study through CU will start next week; I'm looking forward to being back in a small group! And the weather (oh, sorry to resort to such small talk) is getting cooler again and drizzly, but it's still simply lovely.

In other news, I am going to Paris tomorrow with Laura. Well, actually we are going to London tomorrow, and the will get on a bus at 8:30 pm tomorrow, and when we wake up, we will be in Paris. I am so ready to be there after all the frustrations of travel arrangements. Hopefully all will go well, but if not, it'll be quite the experience with quite the stories to tell. I would say, "what's the worse that could happen?" but we all know that those are famous last words...

So, I will check back next Monday with stories galore of travel adventures and Paris.
Cheers!
