Today we went to school, and it was quite different from our school. They have block scheduling so they only have about two hour and a half classes a day and between they have a free time. They spend their free time in their common room (yea, like in Harry Potter, haha), which has a pool table, a lot of couches and a huge flatscreen that plays their version of MTV. Its really quite cool and I think school when we get back will be a huge disappointment. Dan has the first couple of hours free, so I hung out in the common room with some of the other Point girls. Then Mary Kate and I went with Dan to his Media Studies class, which was a lot like Mr. Cool's class if you have ever been in there. Basically, they don't do very much work and sit around and talk a lot. It was kind of boring actually. We then went to Tescos (a grocery store) to pick up lunch and took it back to the school with us. The second class was PE (very different from our PE), and Mary Kate and I had heard it was really boring, so we decided to skip it and hang out in the commons. We talked to a lot of the students and taught them a bit about our American culture. Its really funny, we have to explain to them that we live in the middle of a huge country and don't have coasts near us. They can't really seem to grasp the concept that the ocean is reallllly far away.
Tonight we went to the Murdoch house, which is the house of some famous guy but I can't remember what he is famous for haha, and listened to some Cornish history and ate pasty. The part about Cornish history was super boring, but the pasty was delicious. Tomorrow I think we are doing a more historical tour and then we may be watching a football (soccer) game.
I'm really tired now though!
