I FOUND THE INTERNET!!!

So I've been in Cambridge for three days now (but it feels like a lot longer) and I've just found a wireless connection!  It's outside, which is great, but could be a problem if it begins to rain and I can only get to the internet from a bench in the courtyard.  I've been really busy the past couple days and I've been writing in my travel journal a lot so I'll post everything I've written there, here shortly.  It's been a whirlwind of a first week though.  From exploring to classes to just wandering and finding my own little niche in this well traveled city, it's all been an adventure, and it's only Wednesday!  This morning I have my travel writing class and we wrote and talked about travel writing (shocking, I know) but the more we talk about what exactly travel writing is, the more I feel connected to it and the more I feel like this will be an area of writing that I will really enjoy!  Today's a bit low key, everyone is just getting into their homework and such so I'll be reading the entirety of Titus Andronicus today, which won't be too bad (I hope) as it's a bit cloudy today and I'm thinking of plopping myself down in a cafe and reading until tea time!
This evening at dinner I'll be at high table which I'm looking forward to as well.  If you've all seen Harry Potter movies or read all the books (or both), the high table is where all the professors and Dumbledore eat at mealtimes.  Every student on the trip will have a few occasions to eat at the high table with the professors and coordinators of the trip and tonight it my night!  I get to get dressed up all fancy like and eat dinner and drink wine in style, I think it will just be fun to get to know some of the "grown ups" a little bit better.  More later... off to reading and coffee!!!

  1. Congratulations on getting to sit at the big kids' table! I am excited to hear how it was. :-D

    It sounds like you're having a great time, Emily! Jackson misses you, but sends a wag, a lick, and some fur your way...

    Love you!
