The dream of vacationing has quickly faded as classes started this Monday.
I am taking: International Marketing, British Life and Business, Ethical Dilemmas, and Origins of British Thought in Psychology. It is tough because all classes are three hours long! My brain usually shuts off after 50 minutes. I have the same teacher for British Life and Business/International Marketing. He is very knowledgeable about the subject and has a sense of humor that lightens the mood of the class. Each class period he begins with an ice breaker to help us all get to know each other. The first day we were to interview the student sitting next to us and then introduce them to the class.
Second day he did the following exercise... feel free to try it :)
Write down 3 adjectives that describe your favorite animal
Write down 3 adjectives that describe your favorite color
Write down 3 adjectives that describe your favorite food
Close your eyes and relax. You are surrounded by a great white light that is showering you with brightness. Stay like this for a moment then write down three adjectives that describe the emotions you felt in regards to being bathed in white.
Think of your favorite sort of water feature - example water fountain, lake, creek, ocean, pool, etc. Then write down 3 adjectives that describe the water feature.
Each set of answers have a meaning --
Words that describe your favorite animal are how you see yourself
Words that describe your favorite color are how others see you
Words that describe your favorite food describe your partner
Words that describe your emotions are how you feel about death
Words that describe your favorite water feature describes your love life
Any surprises?
The picture above are of four people (Casey, Kelley, Ashley, Jordan) who live in my apartment with me. There are eleven of us total living in the same flat. The rooms are situated along a hall way that leads to the kitchen/common room. There are three singles (which I was lucky enough to get), two triples, and one double. The kitchen is tiny and it is so hilarious to watch three people cook at the same time! Pictures will be uploaded soon!
Weather is actually not horrible. Last night on our way home it started to snow and it was so pretty! We had some snowball fights.
Tonight we are going to see the play called Blood Brothers.
Blood Brothers is a musical by Willy Russell. It is one of the longest-running works of musical theatre in history, with the 1988 West End production still running after twenty years. The musical has a contemporary nature vs. nurture plot, revolving around fraternal twins who were separated at birth. The twins' different backgrounds take them to opposite ends of the social spectrum, one becoming an Oxbridge-graduated councillor and the other unemployed and imprisoned. Both fall in love with the same girl, with tragic consequences.
Will report back on what I thought about it next time!
Cheers,
Callie
