Hello!
Things have been a little hectic around here lately!!
However, I can tell you that we had a big safety orientation last week! It contained everything from what our insurance over there covers, as well as tips on how not to act like a stupid American tourist :P
I think my dad's advice serves me better than those funny skits: Just keep your eyes and ears open--see what's around you--and don't do something stupid (i.e. don't go around shouting your atm pin number :P)
Anyway, right now I'm working on a presentation for study abroad class about the English custom/habit of drinking tea... and it's pretty interesting!! Did you know tea might just be good for your teeth?
More on that coming up... stay tuned :}

P.S. Speaking of British culture, any Masterpiece theatre fans out there? Specifically Foyle's war, Austen and Dickens adaptations... I'm also looking into Inspector Lewis--at least the previews look interesting...

Mark Twain's advice for fools is always useful.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
Maybe I follow his advice too much :D
I don't think so, Eric!!
However, it's better to be a fool than a sluggard...
"As a door upon it's hinges, the sluggard upon his bed" --somewhere in Proverbs :D
I'm a big Masterpiece Theatre fan! My favorites are Bleak House (Dickens), Little Dorrit (also Dickens- I reviewed this on my own blog at hydrabooksandmovies.blogspot.com) and Sense and Sensibility ("the new one"- Austen). I haven't seen any Inspector Lewis... I don't trust British mysteries to avoid downright twisted stories. But I must admit I'm really looking forward to the new-to-America Agatha Christie movies that start this weekend. :) Should be fun if they keep them relatively clean.
Proverbs 27:14 (Yes, I went through the whole book! :D)
Did you hear about the new translation for Mass? It's going to be used when The Holy Father's in England. You're so lucky!
New Translation in UK
I figured out how to link!! :)
I am also a Masterpiece Theatre fan!! I loved the "Diary of Anne Frank" !!! Haven't seen Inspector Lewis, but I have seen the Jane Austen ones!
