Interesting First Week Of Class

Well so far this week I have experienced three classes. The first one I could not understand a word the professor was saying because he had a really strong ecuadorian accent (not sure if ecuadorian is a word, the second pro I could understand, but we had to cancel class because 70 students showed up for a class that was only suppose to be 15. Today I only had one class but the professor didn't even show up because she was confused about the scheduling. So not off to a great start in terms of school, but I am sure all the kinks will be worked out. The school is in a really neat area and really close to a lot of great London sites. Today I visited St. Paul's Cathedral and went to the Museum of London. I did not go in to St. Paul's because a lot of little kids were running around on field trips, so I decided I would when it was less crowded/noisy. The Museum of London was interesting and I learned a lot about the history of the city. The fire, plagues, and Romans all seem to play a very important part of the city and I was able to see how and why the city was constructed as it was. Thats all for now. I am going to Dublin this weekend so hopefully I will get some quality stories and pictures.

Trip to Stonehenge and Salisbury

Yesterday I was fortunate to visit the famous Stonehenge. It was really quite remarkable to be able to see a 5000 year old architectural structure and the mathematical genius that went behind it. Around Stonehenge are mounds that were used for burials almost 4000 years ago!








Random sheep next to Stonehenge

This stone is called the Heel Stone. Experts believed it was used to cast a shadow within Stonehenge by blocking out the rising sun.

The Salisbury Cathedral. Has the highest spire in England and was built in 32 years.
