Emily: Class and Cows

Hello! It has been FOUR days since I got here, and it's been really great. (Not the food, but the other stuff. =P Jk.)

We just had our first history class today from 4-6pm at the UGA house (the professor came over to teach us). It wasn't really what I had expected... although, I don't really know what I would have expected anyways. Dr. Southcombe was younger than we had all imagined (in his 40s as opposed to say... 80s--haha more humor), and the class was very laid back. We spent the two hours discussing political thought in Utopia, which is so awesome because that means less History, more English and Politics :D. He wasn't super intense as in he didn't outright say we sucked when someone said something wrong. And we never had an awkward silence. I think it will be a good class

After class, we went to The Trout, which is a restaurant by the river, for dinner. The food was all right. I ordered a veggie pasta. The scenery on the way over was amazing--there was so much open space and sky and water, oh, and did I mention the cows? Yeah. Cows and horses were scattered all over the field. Crazy. It was like the movies with the idyllic English countryside scenes. Beautiful.
