Back to School

One week of class finished, and only nine more remain before winter holiday. No break for Thanksgiving means that Dan will remain Turkey-less until his return to the States.

The University of Liverpool is vastly different from UIUC. Less organized but more laid back, it really is a nice, fresh environment to learn in. Plus, my classes seem absurdly interesting. I'm taking all computer science courses, which is interesting. Usually I have a couple 'filler' classes to soften the workload. Oh well, I can take Wine Tasting when I get back to Champaign next semester.

Brock and I joined the Indie Society, and quickly appointed ourselves as the American ambassadors of the club. We are so glad to be able to vocalize our superior music tastes to people even when we are out of the country.

Everything else is going great (except for the exchange rate). I'm on Skype (danielcgilbert), so feel free to call me if you want to hear me say phrases such as "as you like it", "cheeky" and "fancy any brown sauce?" in my newly-formed British accent.

Also, I'm soon going to begin my foray into video blogging, so if you have any requests (car chases, shout outs, sword fights, dance sequences, etc.), let me know.
