Yesterday we went to class and made it there ON TIME with room to spare. All that I have learned in that class so far is how much I clash with my professor. (yes I am being very nice in my description) After reading my first paper, he didn't give me a grade, he only put "hopelessly confused." It is going to be virtually impossible to impress this guy. At least he let us out early...
In the afternoon we went to British Life and Culture and listened to some guy drone on about actors and theatre in London. It was so interesting that I, once again, dozed off to sleep. But this time I was definitely not the worst one. My flatmates and I just love to fall asleep in these lectures...haha
Then last night was the big Barclays Premier League Championship between Chelsea and Manchester United. This is like the Super Bowl of this football (AKA soccer) league. The borough that I live in is South Kensington and Chelsea so the area team was the one playing. Some of us went to Imperial to watch the game there. The had a huge screen set up in the quad with a cookout and hookahs (yes hookahs). And both bars were open with TVs playing the game. Honestly, if Mizzou allowed alcohol at their on-campus events, there would be a huge turnout like there was last night. It was so cool watching the game with real live British football fans. All of us Mizzou kids were supporting Chelsea so we wore Blue, but most people were Manchester fans (they were described to me as the Red Sox of football. people only like them because they are good.) After two overtimes and two shootouts, Manchester won and everyone went crazy. Overall a great night.
Things I learned
1. Don't ever say soccer here
2. Go to the Imperial bar on Wednesday for cheap drinks
3. Leicester Square is the place to go out
4. Leicester is LESTER and Gloucester is GLOSTER
5. I found out my internship early...River Publishing in Promotions...more details to come.
