Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days it has been pretty busy around here. We have our first big project due on Monday and we have been working a lot on that. We have to make a digital story about some aspect of British culture. I have chosen the topic of language and the disconnect of communication between us the Americans and the British. A preconceived notion I had upon arriving in England, was that I would not have a problem communicating with others here because we all speak English. BUT the British accent is actually much harder to understand than I realized it would be. There is also an entire new set of vocabulary to learn. So, that's the start to my project, when I finish it I will post it on here for you all to take a look at.
Yesterday we had class in the morning then after lunch we went to watch the weekly Plymouth News, which is put on by the Master's students. It's not very serious, it was a video that they made with mostly humor and we got to watch it. Supposedly our group has to put one together for next week.
Last night we went to a 4th of July Party at the pub by our dorms called, "The Fresher and the Professor," which was a pretty good time. Today we might take a train over to the next town and see what they have going on there. And tomorrow we are going to King Arthur's Court. And I have a lot of work to get done this weekend as well. I'll post again soon... miss you all and love ya***
