Post Grad Revolt and Ferrets

The Plum & Jello is reporting from Edinburgh, Scotland this week. Needless to say, I have been very busy with five days of school and three papers due in the next two weeks. Ah, the student life.

Here is a slight recap of what has happened since the last post:

• The Buckeyes won - woo! Championship here we come!
• The Brits love candy buckeyes (or conkers).
• The train is the best sleeping pill ever (Jeff, take note!).
• Grad students have power! After the worst Research Methods course I have ever seen, we are leading a charge to get the course removed. Besides PR students, the rest of the class is Public Health (who, I'm sure need to know about the epistemology and ontology of research. I however, do not.). We were granted the extension today, and now there is a hearing into the class! Yay!
• Media in Britain is the best course - topics this week: pirate radio and newspaper spin. Fantastic.
• When you load your backpack with 10 library books and there are 60+ mph winds, you are going to get blown over.
• The fervor of Scottish rugby (playing the land of OZ tomorrow!) is nowhere near Buckeye madness - we are crazy!
• The Brits are extremely interested in Thanksgiving. Their belief is that it is like Christmas and we get gifts. Ha.
• I am having a British Thanksgiving on Tuesday (look for pictures next week).

Whew - that was a lot and I'm sure I missed something. I get back on the train to York tomorrow. Another good 2+ hours of sleep ahead.

In other news, I spotted this headline on the cover of Country Life magazine: "Ferrets: Better than playing Playstation." Wow.
