The main things I'm missing is the socialising with friends and drinking legally. That's not to say I haven't had some 'apple juice' on a few occasions but of course I am good so I may not have. Anyway, moving on swiftly, I've now heard from one person actually in Hull and I don't really mind whether people remember to contact me though it would be nice if they did!
Anyway, been hugely busy again with all my classes. Work comes in big loads all at about the same time but so far I've managed to keep up and the marks I've been getting back haven't been disappointing. In fact in my first English paper, I got 5.5 out of 6! I was well happy because I had been expecting a low mark as it wasn't written as well as I would of liked. I have to read 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair though and so far it is not a pleasant read, if you had to read it, you would understand.
Went to Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell on saturday with the international office. The dam is apparently the second biggest after the Hoover Dam but to be honest, dams aren't really my kind of thing and the grand tour didn't really start any enthusiasm! However at Lake Powell there was a beach so got to paddle and do a spot of sunbathing. Unfortunatly I managed to get a bit burnt - ow! Not sure what I'm doing this weekend, maybe I will go and buy myself a new coat cos it's getting a bit cooler and I currently don't have a coat. Since it snows properly here, a coat would probably be really sensible in preventing hyperthermia!
