Rugby, Lectures, and my first Evensong

As the title suggests, yesterday and today have been pretty eventful with activities. First, I had my first rugby practice of the term, which was awesome! We didn't play contact because so many of us hadn't played before, but even still I am very very sore today. I actually had to leave practice early to get to choir in time, but it was very worth it. We had an hour and a half long practice before the service, and then had the hour long service. The choir did great and I really enjoyed being a part of the service. It was very different from what I am used to. High Anglican Church of England is far from a Southern Baptist service what with the bowing to the altar and the responses between the dean of the chapel and the choir.
My first lecture was this morning in a class called Understanding Religion. It is basically a look at the Sociology of Religion, which turns out to be pretty cool. I have two supervisions tomorrow (which is like a small group that discusses the lecture with a professor from the subject's faculty), and I get to go to a screening for a film class. One of the cool things about being a student in the university, is that if you want to go to a lecture that you aren't in, it doesn't matter! You can just go for the sake of going, or because you think it is interesting. Ah, academia. Anyways, this weekend I am going to Oxford by bus to see Kristen and some of the other Oxforders. I look forward to it. I hope all of you are well.

Cheers mates!
