I have some more pictures to add today, and I realized that I have not posted any pictures of the rather cute horses that live at the end of the courtyard here at college grove:
Although they are stuck in the middle of north-central London, they have a pretty sweet deal. They are the horses that we practice palpating and examining, but since they hang out in front of College Grove, they have the undivided attention of many pet-starved vet students (not to mention some treats too...)
In a continuing story from earlier, I managed to snag a picture from the great hall today
although it is a lovely painting, I, as an American, feel rather put off by good ole' King "Crazy Pants" George III lurking above me in lecture .....
This week's schedule is pretty benign (hopefully the girls and I will go out to the Ice Warf again on Thursday - that brownie sundae was to die for!) and I have an Int'l Sutdents get together tomorrow night, but next week is going to be madness. I am going to the polo club party on Monday, I have my rescheduled polo lesson on Tuesday, and there are 2 Halloween parties (one for sports teams, the other for the whole school) on Thursday and Friday [I sure hope I get my costume form home by then!] I will keep you posted on how my new-found social life is going (ha!)
I know I have a little count down thing over on the side, but I just bought my plane tickets home for the holidays and I will be back in MHD from
December 10th - January 3rd
I will be taking a weekend on either the 13th or the 20th to go down to NY/CT to see my MOHOs and I will do my best to fit all my MHD friends in ... I miss you guys!
Before I go .... British people do not know "zucchini". I was making stir fry the other night, and my flat mates asked what I had in it, and when I told them there was zucchini in it, they giggled and said they had never heard such a silly sounding word... they took another look at my dinner and said .... "oh, you mean courgettes?" WHAT?!?! English my ass....
