Don't be common dear, pronouce your "t's"....British

June 20-21, 2011

Monday and Tuesday were pretty chill. We mainly did homework and such those days. My literature class had a essay due on another novel. The hardest thing is doing work while you are here. There are so much more things you had rather be doing, go figure. Monday though we tried to meet up with Bert and Emily to go to Klub Architect but they ended up going to the wrong university at the wrong time so that didn’t work out but K.A. was awesome as per usual. After that Adrienne and I had class at 4 which was fine. About 4 of us stayed after to discuss our papers with our teacher as that is part of our grade. Now let me tell you, that is one of the most nerve-wracking things I have done. But I made it through and as a reward…Neklid that night! It was great! It was a small group of us and I had a delicious meal of Gnocchi and honey cake. The honey cake…divine. It should be illegal how good it is. Speaking of which…we ended up going back Tuesday night for dessert (Adrienne and I fixed some delicious omelets at the institute for supper that night). Tuesday I did laundry and it was a nice place. There was free internet and you could get a free cup of tea or coffee while you waited…pretty sweet. I worked on my paper and such for class at 1. The book we read this time was Too Loud a Solitude by Hrabal. I highly recommend it to anyone and you have no excuses for not reading it! It is only 98 pages. For class we discussed our papers and then headed to the place here Hrabal lived (saw some pretty sweet graffiti in memory of him). Then it was on to honey cake around 8! And guess who we see there…BERT AND EM! It was wonderful to see them again before they left for more travels around Europe. That is the wonderful part about this trip is you meet so many people and people from around the world. Bert and Em were really cool and such; they go to a “uni” and have met the Queen’s husband…no big deal. Also, just for the record…British practice American accents just like we practice British ones. Go figure.

Also…on a sad/happy note. I leave in a week and 4 days. Crazy. It’s hard to believe and I feel like there is so much left to do. I am so excited to see my family and friends but it will be hard to leave this place…so while I’m here I’m going to take advantage of every moment!
