oh, the humanity!

So I kind of gave up on describing my whole entire spring break... I'm kind of tired tonight so I'm just going to write about today. I promise I'll get to it soon.
Today was my first day of class in a week and a half. I know what you're thinking: "what a trooper! she's very brave to do all that work even while living in a foreign place!"
Save those compliments for someone who deserves them!
Today in class we listened to music. This week for our trip we're spending the night in Manchester and Liverpool, the birthplace of British music, so we learned some history. They brought in a guest teacher, a guy who had worked in the music industry for a few years in the 90s and now teaches sound design at the City of Westminster College. Needless to say he's a little bitter. He is also a Beatles fanatic, and told us the entire history of the band. I was fascinated. We went through the decades, from the 1960s onward. Actually he stopped at the 90s, since he hates all music from this decade. Especially Thom Yorke of Radiohead, one of my favorite bands. I lost a little respect for him then, but still, he's clearly passionate about music, and I definitely understand that. And now I've got more music to find when I get back to the United States.
After class Kyle and I went to see "Be Kind Rewind," Michel Gondry's new film. Michel Gondry is my favorite, favorite, favorite director, so today turned out to be really great. Honestly I could only watch Michel Gondry films for the rest of my life and be OK with that.

Closing statement:
Michel Gondry has restored my faith in humanity.

Something to ponder:
Are there Things going on that I have not written about? You decide, based on the previous statement.

Cheers!
