Today was a good day, despite the early morning class. It was our British Life and Culture class, and today we talked about food. We had a different professor, which made for a nice change of pace from Lyndon's composed-ness. You know what I mean. She brought a bunch of samples of British food, like black pudding (gross, gross, gross), Indian food (yum!), real Cheddar cheese (sharp!), pork pie (tasted like dog food) and a couple of sauces that weren't that great. We also got to see a demonstration of British tea from middle and working classes. We've been talking about class separations a lot. Apparently it's a lot more pronounced than in America, to the point that different classes have different terminology and ways to make tea. The presentation was a really cool way to present British culture; I really enjoyed it.
After class we hung out at the flat for a while, and then we went to...
RENT!
it was neat. I saw the movie, but didn't like it very much, so I went into the musical with a little apprehension. It really exceeded my expectations, though, so I had a really good time and thought it was really, really good. The theatre was small, so we had really good seats. Yay!
So overall a good day!!
Cheers
