A Wild Goose Chase

Literally. This was before Emily was attacked by a very angry (but not wild) cow. Sunday we walked through Grantchester Meadows up to the village. It's about an hour long walk from Cambridge and along the way we stopped at the Grantchester Church and Cemetary until we reached our final destination- the Red Lion Pub. We stopped for lunch and then off back through the fields, but this time we were more aware of the wildlife surrounding us. So aware that I managed to take 253 pictures...

Today we had our first real day of work! We went to Homerton where we were introduced to the library and successfully checked out 4 DVDs. (That's what libraries are for, right?) Then, we got ourselves put on the Homerton e-mail list so we can do things like attend the themed formal dinners (the Harry Potter one is unfortunately already sold out), play frisbee (our first practice is tomorrow!! And, no, I'm not kidding), and attend other social events at the college. We then went to lunch at the Buttery (you can tell we're really working hard) and then we actually had class. We have class with both our American and British Professors and learned all about the British School System, which seems to be really similar to the American school system just with a lot of words that I don't understand. We hit the really key notes, like don't say pants because that actually means underpants and probably would not go over well in a class of 5 year olds. Tomorrow we are going on a walking tour of the University and then off to frisbee practice! (Still in the process of looking for a pick-up football team to join as that is likely to be a lot less embarrassing.)
