Greetings, England- Day 9: Summertown Shopping and Endless Work
It's a no-school day!
(Well, I would exchange today for a whole set of literature lessons though...)
My roommate had gone to some football stadium, so until evening, I have the whole room to myself!

Greetings, England- Day 8: The Thorpe Park and a Lazy Evening
So, it is the day of keen excitement and sharp amusement!
At 8:45, we gathered outside the activities office and boarded the bus heading for the Thorpe Park.
It was still, a sunny, cloudy, hot day indeed. And just as all the amusement parks are, crowds and crowds of people flocked about the Thorpe Park. Just waiting for the tickets alone, we had stood outside the theme park for almost an hour. Imagine how happy we were when we finally got inside.
Following a crowd of my classmates, we skipped the appetizer and went straight to one of the main dishes: a rollercoaster called The Swarm. And so excited was I to go on all the scary ones that I only managed to remember to take the picture of the Swarm. It was really exciting with all those twirling and swirling in tumbling around. However, it took too long to wait. Therefore, I went and bought the fast track ticket. And you can imagine how smooth things were after that! But since I didn't take any pictures after the Swarm, there is no way you can get an idea of how "amusingly exciting" the rides were. All I can tell you is that it was more than enough of the excitement for today.
I know this is probably a day with the least context so far, but there was too much shouting and laughing on the rides, and I'm exhausted.
This is all for today.

Greetings, England- Day 6: Countdown and the Mama Mia Musical
Today, in English class, we watched the TV show Catchphrase, a game for guessing idioms and phrases by watching a short animated illustration, for the purpose of getting to know more of the idioms. Some of them even originated from Shakespeare's plays!

Greetings, England- Day 4: The Amazing Lessons and the Preview for Tomorrow
Today was the first of the class: literature and English and critical thinking; sounds like fun!
So I am writing all these after my classes are finished, I am in my dorm, typing on the computer, trying to give as much details as I can manage, and I can first tell you that the courses are literally to my heart's desire!
