Laugh, Learn, Live

This post is dedicated to things I like here, things I've learned here, and things about here that make me laugh. It may be the first of many, seeing as it's only week 3. :)


  • "Cheers!" is some kind of go-to British word. It's lovely.
  • I take my tea with a spoonful of sugar and a bit of milk. PG Tips really is the best.
  • The Brits don't understand coffee.
  • Most people here seem to go through the same stages of paper-writing as I do. These stages include: procrastination in all its forms, snacking incessantly, general late-night wackiness.
  • We can go on field trips to palaces, London, ancient ruins, and the seaside....and all of these take about the same amount of time to get to....and include so very many photo-ops.
  • Writing about Trafalgar might be more difficult, but the books are really easy to get to before [everyone else].
  • In church, we learn about the wr-oh-th of G-oh-d. And it's S-oh-m, not Sam.
  • When in doubt, always say trousers.
  • Cracking the windows might keep out the mold, but it lets in the cold. And bugs.
  • There don't seem to be storms in England, but there is soooooo much rain. So much.
  • If I wear grey and brown, it only means I look more local...no one asks me if I'm okay. :P
  • C.S. Lewis is a big deal here, too.

That's all for now! Mostly because it's 1am and I might ought to go to bed before tomorrow's field trip. Cheers! :)

  1. You need some comments so you know people are reading your blog. :P Actually I had kinda forgotten, but now I've remembered, so keep it up! :)

  2. Ha! Actually, if I know people are actually reading it, that makes me feel guilty for posting a) nothing, or b) nothing insightful. :P ....It's not like you don't get updates anyway ;)
