Doom 2

Doom, Post 2

The students are off on their own today, working on projects and catching the last few sights. I'm working on budgets and blogs and photos and room bookings and all kinds of grown-up things. Responsible, but also an excuse for me to sit in my room and try to recover. They have endless energy. It's amazing. Tomorrow we catch the train to Edinburgh and Thurs is our meeting at the University of Edinburgh. We'll meet with Dr Ken Millard (an Americanist) and a couple of his students for a q and a/project work. Should be great. We're looking forward to the arthouse cinemas and a slightly smaller city to conquer.
I brought my camera, but forgot my usb thingy and charger, so I'm depending on the students for pictures. Once we get our act together on that, I'll post some photos! Hopefully the wifi situation will be better at our next hotel. It's kind of a mess here. Gotta love TCOM students, though. Stuck sharing beds? No complaints. Everything is horrifically expensive? No complaints. Crowds, noise, city madness? No complaints.
Trouble getting online? They are about to explode. Sigh....
Anyway, everyone that's met them has loved them and had nothing but great things to say. Dr Leslie encouraged them to contact her if they want to do a UK degree and Charlotte at MTV said 100% to contact her if they want work abroad. I'm very proud!
