Cheers!!
I'm back to fill you in on another fun-filled day! Today started out with a great English breakfast again, yum eggs! After breakfast I had class from 8-4:30, so needless to say it was a long day. In class today I learned all about photography and how to take good pictures (i.e. contrast, perspective, etc...) we were then given an assignment that was called a "Picture Challenge". For this assignment we had to choose any adjective then walk around town and take 5 pictures that represent that adjective. During tomorrow's class session, everyone in class will try and guess what everyone's adjective was only based off of the five pictures they took.
So I figured I would get my picture taking done with as soon as I could (i.e. 5pm). This was hard to do because EVERYTHING over here closes by 6pm, except the pubs of course. Kailey and I ventured around town as it started to rain. First it was only a couple of drops, then it was pouring and the wind picked up. Trying to take pictures in these conditions were really hard yet I think we managed to hold the umbrella over our camera and do the best we could! I'd say they turned out pretty well!! I'll try and post my 5 pictures on here and then you all can guess what you think my adjective is! :)
Word on the street is that there is some issues involving our Stonehenge trip....which sucks. Apparently we had planned to visit Bath and Stonehenge on the same day (Thursday)and this will apparently result in us spending about 7hours that day traveling. My group leaders are trying to re-plan everything, so who knows where I'll be going on Thursday! I'll keep you posted though!
I ventured to the Supermarket again today-primarily because i had to have another bag of the BEST sea salt and vinegar chips again. It's well worth the long walk into town for those things, trust me. That and I bought some pasta and sauce for my dinners this week. The sauce was actually pretty good, I was surprised. I have to start thinking about my first big project that is due next Monday. It's supposed to be a digital story about some aspect of culture that has fascinated me so far on this trip. I think I'm going to do mine on British teenage entertainment. I've seen so many teens skateboarding and playing soccer, I think I'll be able to get a lot of good pictures.
I went to a technology seminar today about gaming in classrooms and how to use games as a teacher. I was SO excited to learn all about this but the seminar was pretty uneventful, sadly. All we did pretty much was play games on the Internet and talk about things like how South Korea is the leading champion in the World Gaming Olympics or something like that. Now that I think about it the lecturer was from South Korea....I wonder if she's ever enlisted in this tournament?
Anyways...sorry it's kind of a boring post today. It was pretty much a homework day for me and I was running around town taking pictures all day. I'll try and post them on here! I hope everyone is doing well!

Your pictures are great. I love the humps sign. Anyway my guess would be morning dew, or misty. I probably am not even close am I? Keep sending the pics and it again sounds like a great day in Plymouth. Eres to you honey,love mom
I love your pictures Tara they are beautiful!! I am glad to see that you are having a good time!! I miss seeing your beautiful face at work though!! Next time you go to the market look at their magazines they are so much more raunchy than the ones in the states, i.e. cosmo or glamor.
