Monday after the Super Bowl

Well it is said that around 6% of people call in sick the day after the Super Bowl luckily we didn't have to do that. We did stay up to watch it so it was around 3 o'clock when we got done. After we cooked ourselves some lamb chops and mashed potatoes we went out to a pub called Rascal's. Then we went to the "projects" at half time and watched it on a 13 inch tv in a kitchen. This was the first year the BBC broadcast it here but unfortunately we did not get any of the commercials, it was commercial free unfortunately ( never though you'd here someone say that huh). I say we went to the projects because these dorms have 18 people per flat and they share a kitchen with two stoves a microwave, two showers, and three toilets, and they have no internet in their rooms. The buildings are strewn with asbestos check stickers everywhere and are getting torn down at the end of the year. So I guess we should thank the lord because most of the rest of the international students live in those buildings. We went to Liverpool this weekend and had a good time. The cathedral was finally finished in 1978 and it was started in 1901. So it is a rather new cathedral. We did not get to see a lot things we had a very short amount of time to see things. We however get to see the Cathedral and went through the shopping center and ate on Albert Dock in a pub with excellent food. While we were there we started watching the Italy/Ireland Rugby game. That same afternoon Wales beat England for the first time in twenty years at Twickenham. Liverpool is the European Capital of Culture this year. We start all our classes this week, including outdoor pursuits, so it will be a "full" week. I hope to get a hold of the guys football/soccer team and see about playing with them. We did go to serendipity on Friday and they had all their clubs and organizations there. So we are looking in seeing which ones we can make it to. They had wintersports, la crosse, rugby, basketball, soccer, DJ, scuba diving, sailing, kayaking, surfing, fencing, camping and all kinds of things to do. We are going shopping tonight for groceries after our class from 6:30 to 8:30.
