June 23: The Best of Both Worlds - USA and England advance in the World Cup

In an effort to not go to bed incredibly late tonight, I shall write a fairly short blog entry tonight. Classes were not that eventful. In Jane Austen we talked a bit about Emma and Laura, MJ and I were in a group. We were talking about mysteries and puzzles with characters. Our second class was pushed up to 1:30pm instead of 2:30pm. This was all because of the world cup games. Our classes were to get out by 3:20pm so we could watch the game that started at 3pm. My teacher let us out a little bit after 3, but I waited for Laura and 3:20 and then we headed up to watch the game. We switched between the USA and the England match. They were really exciting with the USA scoring in the 92^nd minute! Yay for both advancing. The USA now plans Ghana and England plays Germany.

We went on a walking tour at 6pm with a guy named Andrew Butterworth. It wasn’t as good as the Bizarre Bath tour, but it was alright. He invited us all into a place called Porter’s afterwards for a drink. There we watched the Ghana versus Germany game and then headed up to our house at halftime. We caught a bit of the Wimbledon game that is so far lasting for over 9hours. I then ventured down to use the telephone booth and make a few calls.

Tomorrow the Jane Austen classes head to Bristol, the opposite of Bath during Austen’s time. This weekend is our study trip weekends too and we are going to London, but the non-touristy parts of London. Nothing else too exciting happened today I just hope my roommate feels better soon! Oh and the minutes on your phone card are not actually the number of minutes you get; it is a lie! You get a ton less actually, which is weird.
