Queens Hotel Newbury

... the infamous round table with all the knights names and apparently a pic of King Henry?? I need to check that one and update this entry.

Pete made it without an issue and it was a lovely day for driving as well. I looked around the shops and had lunch in the Cathedral shop and of course took some pictures and read about some of the history or Wincester!

The Tandem Ride
We succesfully completed our tandem initiation on Friday morning at Windor Great Park. Being good Catholics we know that nothing is really worthwhile unless you have to suffer while doing it. So we thought it would be a really good idea to do this with a hangover. But even the hangover was all for the cause. Following free-flowing ...

... it makes an excellent beer pong area. Three girls in our program live in the flat above us and 6 more in the flat above them. All they have to do is open their windows and when they hear my flatmates playing guitar they come down and hang out/see what are plans are for the weekend/steal our beer. We definently live in the center of London. I've walked from my flat to downtown in one direction and have walked to Buckingham ...

... nothing is forsure, and it is this the intrigue of Stonehenge thats really fun! The weather has been fabulous for our whole trip apart from the few moments of rain in Munich.The sky at Stonehenge looks stormy but the only rain we were to have would be while we were drivng. Well off again in the car, we are driving a two door hatchback but it really is quite roomy. We are now headed to Windsor Castle, which we saw yesterday from the motorway and decided we ...

I can't quite believe it but it's been one month since I first arrived in London. It is really starting to feel like "home" for the time being. We finally bought a few things for the flat so its making it a bit more comfortable. I think I've finally got my side of town all figured out and I know the tube like the back of my hand by now. Once again, I still can't quite get over how quickly I've acclimated to it here, especially considering how different it is ...

... travelled for a long time, or worked in a foreign country, you might relate to this feeling. After almost 4 months in Spain, hearing, speaking, reading, living Spanish, it was crazy getting off the plane in London and hearing announcements that I could understand every word! And signs I could read. The conversations around me, I could understand those too. Well, maybe not every word, since they do speak a bit funny on this side ...

Monday This week begins with a gorgeously crisp, clear Monday morning. Despite the fact that I am not as prepared as I would like to be for today's lessons, I am feeling good about the day. I start with a free period, so I can get the materials together that I need to make the lessons work. Y10 Citizenship will be discussing sex and drugs in school. The topic has great potential for discussion as long as the chatters don't ruin it for everyone else. I will let you know how it ...

... for an overnight in London as well as everything for school. It was a bit nutty. Also, I didn't read my instructions very well, but I'll get to that later... I had a good day with the students on Friday. My tutor group worked ******* some puzzles I gave them to do. I had a power point presentation on MLK Jr. and the March on Washington with my year 11 Ethics class that went well. I think I bored them with the entire "I Have a Dream" speech, though. Next ...
