I can't remember exactly what date I left off, but since the last time I wrote, I have been to London again, which was a lot of fun. It was more of an over-view tour, walking along rather than stopping and looking at things in depth. I went for an interview in Greenwich about being in a band as a pianist.
I began my classes on Oct. 5th, and have since then already presented one of my required presentations (phew).
The last couple of weeks have mostly been spent in quiet reflection of the differences between British culture and American culture, listening to music, reading, drawing, watching movies, and playing ultimate frisbee. The most exciting thing that has really happened recently was receiving a black eye from playing a game of Ultimate frisbee. Last night (the 20th), I sang karaoke at the King and Queen pub, and had fun doing that. Slowly, but surely, I am becoming assimilated to the culture. It is taking me a while, especially since I know I will be here for many more months.
My classes are all of the media variety, which is good because I haven't taken a media class in a couple of years. I am taking:
1. Popular Music and the media
2. Propaganda, Persuasion, and Political Communication
3. Science, Technology, and the Media
4. Genre and Film
I love all of my classes and find them all so interesting. I've got some of my favorite subjects covered: Music, politics, science, and films. So, I am happy. The classes are mostly reading, class discussion, and analysis.
When something more exciting happens, I will post it. But for right now, that is all that has been happening.
More later.
Ciao!
