Today, my professor suggested I jump out a window.

Seriously, he did!
Not to worry, he was kidding. Heh, heh. Ah, British humour. It's one of the many things I ADORE about my programme. Ready for the rest?

-the size: 8 of us. well, and apparently 1 missing student. he never showed up today, and we're all wondering where he's hiding. on that note...
-the professors: all a little sarcastic. and they like to make jokes about hiding their students in cupboards, or suggesting they jump out of windows. still a little on the fence on how I feel about that.
-the COURSES. oh, I am so happy with my courses. more on this later, when I actually attend them.
-the total free reign we have in the English department. As postgrads, we can audit ANY class in the English department-- just show up and learn something. Could life be better?
-The location: across from a castle. I know this was new to me 2 years ago, but it's still frickin' cool.
-The amount of wine served at the Postgrad Party, hosted by the department. Enough said.

I think I'm going to enjoy this year.
