'ello all!
Just want to wish everyone a very happy Fourth of July!! It's very strange being in England on this day...I mean it's just like any other day over here...but alas we found a pub nearby to our dorm called "The Fresher Professor" and they had a fourth of July party for all of the study abroad people here!! The whole pub was decorated from head to toe with American Flags and even the bartender was dressed like Abe Lincoln!!! And if you know my family lineage (aka I'm related to John Wilkes Booth who assassinated Lincoln) then you would know that this was an extremely funny ordeal to see!
The pub was a great time today. I met a person from London at the pub, as a matter of fact, and he gave me lots of suggestions about things to see and whatnot when I go there next weekend. I love asking people about "football" (aka Soccer) here because they all feel very passionate about it. Apparently Green Street Hooligans is a very accurate movie as far as the fighting that happens during the football games. It's very interesting to hear about it. And once again, I have met another fan of techno music!! Yuck!!
I even met a girl from Poland at the pub!!! We talked a lot about Polish culture and she even suggested a great place to buy pierogi from!!! :) It was awesome!!
Tomorrow I decided that I am going with a group of girls to Tintagle which is where King Arthur was supposedly "born". It's a castle, anyways...which I'm super excited to see! I'll have to blog when I get home about it tomorrow and of course I'll be sure to take pictures.
Remember when I talked about the Dick-Van-Dyke-looking man who heads the program here, J.P? He was drinking wine tonight at the pub (of course because he is french) and was dancing to Kanye West....one of the most HILARIOUS things I've ever seen!! haha.
Anyways....I should be going to bed...I have to catch an early train tomorrow and then a bus ride to Tintagel!! I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!!
Cheers,
Tara
