Hey guys,
I am really sorry about the short blog post yesterday but I just got a really killer headache that I could not shake so I thought I would called it quits and take a nap. Well that nap turned into a full nights sleep and I woke up really early this morning as I went to bed so early. It worked out ok though because I got some work done that needed to get done.
This afternoon I had a lecture on Shakespeare in film that was pretty interesting. The guy was talking about how themes from the time that the movie was made were always put into the adaptation of the play. We got to see some really interesting sources and it kindda pulled the whole thing together. Yet, I wonder how much I really took away from it. The thing I love about history is how I feel like whenever I learn about some event that took place that I can look back on it and apply it to my current life. Wow Dr. Jass has really brainwashed me... :)
I also made somewhat of a big mistake. So this week the new Dungeons and Dragons addition came out and I told myself that I was not even going to look at the books until I got back into the states. Then I had to go into a Borders to pick up some Shakespeare books and there they were... sitting on a bookshelf with some soft white light making their covers glow like a divine aura. I just thought that if I just flipped through some of the pages I could curb this hunger till I get back home. So I took the books over to one of those nice leather chairs and just started to see if I liked the new rules. Three hours later I had all three books in a wonderful plastic bag and was walking back to my flat. It was bound to happen I guess but now I have to find a way to get them home...
Classes have been going really well. They take up a ton of time just because of the amount of reading that my tutor has given my group (we have to read two more plays then the other group) but I feel like I am going into a subject that I have never really studied before so thats a good thing. I feel like that when I get back to Adrian that it just wont feel the same. Adrian has a ton of sandstone prison like buildings and Oxford is well....Oxford. Something about walking through the streets here and finding that one coffee shop that has that person that makes the perfect cup. Adrian doesn't have that because the place is so small and Adrian isn't really a utopia of culture. Well, guess I am going to have to deal with it and just push my way through next year.
Tomorrow is a not so packed day so that is a good thing. I think I am going to take a nice long walk and get some photos of the park that is by my house that I keep on talking about. Also, I have head of a cool church that is kind of off in the backcountry. I'll make sure to get the photos up as soon as I get back.
Oh and I got a new photo account. Check it.

not going to lie I heard fourth was a great edition only for those people who cannot think for themselves. I am playing in a great second edition game right now and it makes whatever I was playing at college seem so weak... However, you should just mail them to yourself. Media mail isn't that much. I hope that you are doing well.
