Turning British

I'm terribly sorry for not updating in several weeks. Things have gotten intense like they tend to do in Graduate school. After completing a 10 page paper and presenting it in front of all the other history Masters and First Year PhD students, I am now working on a 25 page paper due in 2 1/2 weeks. This thing is totally freaking me out because it is the entirity of my grade for the semester!!! EEPP!!!

However, I have been thinking of things and wanting to break the tension. Especially since I have been here for nearly three montsh!!!...

Reasons I'm turning British===

*~ I find it more appropriate to say "Cheers" instead of "thank you" when someone hold open the door for me.

*~ I gorge myself on "jacket potatoes" and fancy "a curry"

*~ I drink more than 3 cups of tea a day in place of coffee.

*~ I know a zebra is not refering to an animal

*~ I no longer hate beer at all... I actually prefer a pint of Carlsberg or Guinnius now and again at the pub

*~ Two words-- Universal Healthcare!

*~ I can vaguely make out what a heavy Scottish accented man is saying to me

*~ They are not "room mates" they are "flat mates"

*~ Rainy days are no reason to drive a car to class, enough said.

*~ "Lovely" or "Sexy" can be a very appropriate adjectives


I'm sure there will be more installments to this list as I complete my year abroad, but I find it a good start!

Now back to the paper!!!
