Hard Day's Night

So I'm listening to the best band ever right now, The Beatles, and I thought this particular song title was appropriate for my lack of blog posts. I have been extremely busy and running around for the past few days. I went to see a movie at City Centre in Liverpool and it was so much fun! Brianna, Hannah, and I went to see Something Borrowed, which turned out to be a pretty good movie. A side note for my dad, the popcorn was really good, but I didn't get the value combo meal. Other than that we have just been hanging out around the town and going to Five ways pub for quality hang out time. At five ways we talked to this old man who had a daughter that went to Ball State to study abroad. I thought it was neat to see that there were fellow Cardinals among us in England. While leaving the pub it is a tradition to "caw" by Dr. Popplewell's window, so some of us achieved this tradition with lots of laughs. Today, I got to experience my first day at Woolten Junior Primary School. The classrooms were so neat and the children were, well, probably the cutest kids alive. Some students asked me if Indiana Jones lived in Indiana or if I was in love with Justin Beiber. I hated to disappoint the students by saying no to the Justin Beiber part of that question (I didn't want to squash their dreams of Indiana Jones not living in IN). I got to grade papers and I actually helped a student understand improper fractions. The teacher was impressed with me getting through to this particular student and was excited to be having me as a part of her classroom. I got to play with the children for their 3 recesses. Everything is so much more laid back in the classrooms and there is no stress of standardized testing!!!
I'm super excited to be leaving for Glasgow & Edinburgh, Scotland tomorrow! First hostel stay here I come :)

Cheers,
