Okay - its not just all fun. Today I really missed people at home. Classes started yesterday, and I had to think very seriously about which courses I am going to take, and whether I want to write a thesis. Been to International Criminal law, Comparitive Family law and Jurisprudence, as well as meeting with the seminar leaders in Comparitive Law if I want to do a thesis. The courses have been really amazing so far, but it has been a bit hard to get my head back into listening to lectures and taking notes. My new tablet laptop has been a hit, letting me take notes using a neat program called windows journal.
If I do a thesis, it will be in Consumer law, specifically comparing UK and Canada (Ontario) law with respect to cooling off periods. The first professor that I spoke to wasn't too keen on my topic, but the next one was. I will have to decide this early next week.
On the social front, we had games night alast night at the college. Along with ping pong, we played this crazy drinking game with chugging beer and then flipping your cup over (I was really good at that game) and another one where you had to choose a sign, and then sign each other. Very goofy, but there ended up being about 20 of us playing. Great bonding with my college mates.
Maybe it is all fun. Even the courses. And missing people means that I will be that much more excited and apprecitive of them when I see them next, and that I will return to a rich and fulfilling life when I return. Everyone stay healthy.
Here is another picture for you all, taking a couple minutes walk from our flat. Note the beautiful weather. We`ve had very little rain, for jolly old England!
