Just wanted to update everyone on what I have been up to since Sunday. School has really picked up this week and I have actually spent a lot of time in the library reading and studying for future test. It's sort of a challenge figuring out how I'm going to balance my study time since I won't have the weekends do to work, but it's a good problem to have. We took a field trip to Glastonbury and Wells today. I made the logical decision (not sarcastic) to stay up late last night to watch the USA soccer game, so I was running off of four hours of sleep all day. But honestly nothing will ever be worse than last weekend in Swansea sleep wise, so I felt great today. But back to my day trip, if you are unfamiliar with these places (as I was originally) they are two small genuine English towns close to Bath. Glastonbury is famous for their music festival they have each year comparable to Bonnaroo back in the states. It also had a small castle at the top of a hill in which legend says Joseph of Arimathia once came and visited, and potentially buried the Holy Grail in the area. Wells had an old Cathedral which was comparable to the one I saw last week in Salisbury. However what separated Wells from the other cities I've been to is it's market scene and small town feel. I bought a cornish pastry with BBQ chicken and potatoes along with some fudge in the market for lunch (which by the way, I have never missed sweat tea and mexican food so much.) Before we headed back to Bath, we stopped in a small area called Cheddar which in my opinion was the Gatlinburg of England. It was situated in an elevated area and had candy shops everywhere. Overall today was a good day, but the weekend can come quick enough. I'm heading back to London, so get ready for the updates on Sunday. I hope all is well back home. Miss and love you all!
