PARIS

I completely forgot everything I learned in High School french. Every time I open my mouth, the beautiful Parisian that I'm trying to comunicate with shoots me a very pained look and then replies in a more fluent form of American English than I ever use outside of acedemia.

But, having the time of your life is exhausting. And the internet is slow. I'll finish tomorrow =)

The End of Days



Blogger is being very unfriendly. I'll have to finish later.

We've been invaded.

My professor started this study abroad program at Baylor University in Texas, and when he came to U of I a version of his program stayed. Yesterday at dinner a small army of students who just recently have been granted the right to dance came into the Great Hall for what should have been a much nicer dinner. Now, all 40 of them have access to our tiny computer lab. This will not do. They must be destroyed.

Here's some of Matt's pictures:


Home

Salisbury Cathedral:




















Filming Brideshead Revisited at our residence:



Bath:








Matt's camera (our only working digital) died right before we entered the bath houses =(


English Countryside Walk:
Dr. Greco took us on a 4 hour walk around the country.

River Peacock.






I really had a much better time than it would appear.





This is Dean. I think he's the most photographed member of our group. He used to be an Abercombie model. Fer reals. He has so many facets.








I had a shoe malfunction, and my feet hurt. A lot.
