My classes have changed--I dropped Anarchy and Order, and I'm taking beginning Welsh now! I also only have classes on Monday afternoon and Tuesday, so I have a lot of long weekends (to travel!). Welsh is really hard, but I like it. I can't say a whole lot of interesting things yet, because we've been learning basics like "where do you live?" and "what is your/his/her name?" and things like that. today we learned how to say what we like, so it's getting more interesting. Genocide class is really interesting, but also really hard, because it's a tough subject.
I haven't done a whole lot of traveling (or much of anything) lately--I've mostly been settling in, and this weekend I got sick so I just stayed in and slept. I've got plans for a few weekends though in the future, and I did go to Cardiff again, for a day.
circle of rocks. NOT Stonehenge, obviously.
Cardiff Castle!
For the Mariners who died at sea in times of peace and war.
and tomorrow I'm leaving for Penzance until Friday, when I'm heading up to Salisbury to meet a friend and go to Avebury and Stonehenge. We'll get back to Swansea on Saturday evening, and then on Saturday night I'm going to see the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra play some Tchaikovsky and Saint-Saens. I'm pretty excited. The rest of tonight will be full of packing and sleeping.
I'll update on Penzance and such when I get back.
