The First Class...

So much is different in the UK that I was unprepared for classes to be so much the same! Case in point- BOOKS. They're just as exspensive here as they are in the US... I spent £106 on books and supplies (one pad of paper and a binder). That's crazy! I'm only taking two classes!!!! And only four total for the whole year. I have a feeling, though, that I'll spend roughly as much time studying for these classes as I did on the five last semester. Sat in on my Chaucer class, which looks to be very entertaining, and have begun reading the medieval lyrics that are due for next week. Starting to get back into the flow of Middle English, but the first fewe tymes 'r alaweyes harde. Tomorrow I have my Shakespeare and re. love Poetry class... Still not entirely sure why I signed up for that, but I think I'll enjoy it all the same.

Went to the cinema on campus last night, £3, which is very cheap for movies apparently- still about $5 US. There is a discount card even for the cheap cinema but- I worked this out- as long as you see 8 or FEWER movies it's cheaper to pay full price. So I think I'll just see 8 or fewer movies. Having a little bit of Internet trouble (I'm working from the library right now) so don't be worried if I'm not IM people right now- it's not you it's me. Anyway, not much more to say. Thanks for the card Ma, it was sweet. TTFN.
