Early morning... the Super Bowl was on until around 3 last night, so I didn't get a lot of sleep. It was fun, though. We went to Walkabout, an Australian bar, where they had the game on every T.V., including a massive projector screen. It was cool to watch the game, but sadly there were no American hilarious commercials... Oh well! I had two of my new classes today. The first was Romanticism and Modernism, and I went to the lecture as well as discussion and really enjoyed it! The class was more at my intellectual level, which was a relief. Our discussion group was awkwardly quiet for about ten minutes until one guy was trying to pronounce the word 'dactylic,' and nobody could figure it out, so I said it and then everyone at the table realized that the new kid was talking! That was all it took to get the conversation/interpretation going, and we had a great discussion! After the class got out, a few of the guys that I met were heading to a pub for a pint between classes. They invited me and I hesitated at first, but I figured it would be an easy way to get to know the guys better. It was a good time! They were all from Glasgow and told me about the city and such. After that I went to Beverage Management, which was a nice break from the English discipline. It should be a good class. I can tell that I'll be much happier with my new classes :)
Tonight I went to the gym, reviewed some notes, and went to Quiz Night with Adrian and the boys from Northern Ireland. It was fun to try and answer the questions as a group. I handled a few of the American subjects. We didn't win but had fun regardless. More class for me tomorrow, but Jackson and I are planning to go play some European basketball hoops tomorrow night, so I'm looking forward to that! But for now, sleep...
