simply exhausted...

Well, I'm about ready to crash. The days in the British uni system are long -- the idea is simple: Basically no work of any kind until exams (maybe a paper or two), and every person treats learning like a day job. Study/read from 10 - 5, then do whatever you like for the evening. I've been getting up at 8 each day, I read until about 4:30, come home, and have the evenings to myself. Not a bad thing, it would never work at Brown though.

I've had three different whiskies tonight and have watched a lot of Star Trek, Seinfeld, and Futurama. Gearing up for tomorrow night -- Robert Burns' Night in Scotland. A night of traditional Scottish foods (haggis!), whisky, and the reading of Burns' poetry.

Ehm... well, that's about it. I've got some Irish Bardic Poetry to post one of these days; it's well worth the wait.

Courses begin here tomorrow (unless we are inundated with snow once more and classes are canceled.. current estimates are for between 3 and 6 inches tonight). You're right.. here classes are symptoms lifestyle - meaning either you live the work, live the work and pretend you don't, or go to Viva every night :)

Actually - we're putting on a Burns fireside tonight with some honest cooking and readings :)
