Yo! So I have to say that the English Springtime is absolutely wonderful. It has been a cool but sunny 60 or 65 most of the time since I have returned. I have gotten to catch back up with all of my friends here who are starting to stress out about exams (I don't have to take them until the end of my senior year, so although it is nice now, my time will come). Choir has been great so far this term with absolutely wonderful music, and great times with my friends in choir. I have become rather proficient at the game of croquet, and challenge any of you to beat me upon my return. I am starting to prepare for next year, so I am already looking into graduate schools and fellowships (coming back to Cambridge maybe?). Picked up a GRE prep book, and already feeling the pressure to succeed again in that all-too-American fashion. You can take the boy out of America...Also, per my mother's request (happy Mother's day again btw, since I know you will read this soon), I have posted a couple of pictures of the more common streets in Cambridge...what the Brits would call the "High Street." This is very similart to our concept of "Downtown," which they don't understand because it is not geographically "down." I hasten to point out that the "Highstreet" is not "up," and they scamper away in shame in their red coats. As seen in the picture here, The Mitre is one of my favorite pubs in Cambridge...It is right on the river and has an incription inside that reads "Here, many drinks and food rended upon the river once depended." Enjoy the pictures, and I hope to hear from all of you soon. God bless!
