A Brief Update

We actually had fantastic weather all weekend, which was enjoyed by both locals and 50 million tourists who magically appeared alike.  Seriously, Cambridge was overrun.  There was a music festival in a nearby park, which was a lot of fun.  

A bunch of us went to dinner on Saturday and then went to a bunch of pubs.  Bars close here early, so you end up hopscotching through them looking for open hours rather than drink specials.

There's a universal feeling that we're all ready to get out of Cambridge, it's pretty and all, but we're running out of stuff to do (past going to pubs).  It'll be nice once exams are done and we're off to London!

Tonight we're all planning on eating at the Dining Hall at Trinity College (it's expensive, but looks like the Great Hall at Hogwarts).  Tomorrow we're going punting, which sounds exciting except for the possibility of capsizing. 

Classes are going well, my British professor has progressed from expressing mild disdain toward Americans to full on criticism of everything our government does.  This would be offensive if she were better informed, it's presently simply irritating.
