So, now classes are in full swing, and I only have class 3 days a week for 2 hours each day! My classes are based on either one big exam or paper at the end of the course, but no homework assignments or mid-terms like Clarkson. I think that this leads to a lot of pressure to do well on the final assignment, but hopefully I will be fine! It is starting to get colder over here, but not Northern, NY temperatures yet (no chances of snow, thank goodness:))! Next weekend I am going to a football game with one of my friends! When I say football, I obviously mean soccer, which the rest of the world calls football. I am so excited, as it was one of the things I definitely wanted to do while being abroad!
This week I went to a museum in Brighton and saw all kinds of exhibits about Brighton, and other places in the world. In the picture you can see a mummy that was at the museum. It was a really interesting museum, and there was quite a lot to see. I also went shopping in the Lanes, which is an area of Brighton that has many small shops in small, narrow streets. You don't get to go shopping in a place like that in the US! I went on a ghost walk on Friday night, in which the tour guide took us around the town and showed us different places that are supposedly haunted. It was pretty neat, especially with Halloween coming up soon! I am not sure how many of the stories were actually true, but it was cool to learn some more about the town. Supposedly, Jack the Ripper spent quite a lot of time at The Cricketers, which is a pub in Brighton that we stopped at. On Saturday I went back to London, walked around again and then Saturday night saw The Phantom of the Opera. I thought that the musical was pretty good, but it did not compare to the musical Wicked that I saw the previous week. The picture that I have included shows the inside of the theater. On Sunday, I went to a place called the Seven Sisters, in which there are 7 different cliffs in a row. It was such a beautiful place, and the pictures definitely do not do the area justice. That's all for now, I will be sure to update next week! :)
