So, it is officially the end of term and I am done with classes already – I can’t believe it! On one hand, it feels like I just got here, but so many things have happened that it feels like ages at the same time. I can’t believe that in just a little over two weeks I’ll be back in the States!
Last night after our last class, a group of us went to the IDS bar (IDS = Institute of Development Studies) with Buzz, our tutor for our Anthropologists and Development class. We actually all had a casual chat – about anthropology as a discipline, cricket, sports in general, and I discovered that she has actually been to Chapel Hill because her nephew goes to school there – small world. Luckily the conversations we were having didn’t degenerate into less appropriate topics until after Buzz left. And, I am now known as the “one pint wonder” according to Anna, for my lack of alcohol tolerance.
Later on, after hanging out a bit in the flat next door, I met up with a group of the ADST girls at Sumo (a kinda swanky bar just around the corner). ONE corona was 3.10 quid – try putting that into US dollars – ack. Luckily they were also giving out samples of free cider as well.
All in all, it was a fun evening. And now I’m tempted to read the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe instead of working on my term paper for a bit. I am really looking forward to seeing the movie!
