First week of school!

The week of partying and going out as finally come to an end and classes have begun. I have a pretty nice schedule... Monday's and Wednesdays at 9am I have Experimental Methods in Psychology & History of London at 13:30pm (1:30), that took me awhile to figure out ha. Tuesday and Thursdays I have Childhood Psychology at noon and then Shakespeare and His World at 16:30 (4:30) with Meg. All my classes have a maximum of 15 people in each of them and all except History of London I am the minority. Each one of my teachers is different. My Experimental Methods teacher is  Greek so she has a thick accident, History of London my teacher is from the US but has lived in London most of his life,  Childhood psych I can't remember but he is not from here and has a unique accident, and then Shakespeare my teacher is hardcore British and has a huge accident. He clearly loves Shakespeare too so it should be an interesting class. I really like my History of London class because we have lecture on Mondays for an hour but then on Wednesdays we go on field trips. Like yesterday we had to take the tube to St. Paul's cathedral stop and we walked around for 2 hours while our teacher told us stories and history. We also went into two museums, which was really cool. Also my teacher has a son who goes to Boulder who I knew, ironically. He has three kids and only one wanted to study in America, all the rest are still here.  I like how for all of my classes we don't really have any tests... we just have projects or papers, some even in pairs.  For my Shakespeare class, we also get to see plays every other week. Class is an hour and twenty minutes, which is longer than I am used to but so far it hasn't been too bad. I think being in smaller classes forces me to pay attention more just because the teacher can see if I am doing something else or zoning off... books are still pretty expensive but in all my classes I am sharing books with other kids in my class which worked out well except still expensive because we need 2 or 3 books for each class. Tuesday night Manchester University and Manchester City were playing each other in futbol so EVERYONE pretty much took the tube to the only SportsBar in London to watch the game.  It is so funny how everyone is so into it. There were men in business suits there and little kid all there to watch. It was so unbelievably packed it was outrageous. Immediately after the game was over, the older people left and the kids stayed to drink and play pool. Meg, Lauren and I met some british boys who are going to law school. One of the guys went to Oxford and the other one went to Harvard and played football. I asked him if he knew Richie and he said yes but I highly doubt that because I feel like he graduated a couple years ago and Richie is just a freshman.. oh well. I went along with it.  Last night we went to a pub right down the street because it was a student specials for drinks for 1 pound. There were a TON of British guys who either played futbol or rugby. I learned that the futbol players and the rugby players are huge rivals and dislike one another. It was really entertaining because they each were chanting at each other on the pub. Tonight we have this formal "Beginning of the Term" party at a club downtown. Hopefully it will be fun but apparently it is really expensive to buy drinks which is not something I like considering I have already spent so much money. Apparently it is a really unique place and we got a deal so I am thinking it will be worth it in the end.  Well that's all for now but write again soon!!!
