After Monday's unusual weather event, things otherwise went smoothly this week. Classes met. People made travel plans. Little did we know that we'd wake up on Thursday to a massive new snow-storm, one so powerful that it made the group's plans to tour nearby Bristol impossible.
So, the faculty are at work on coming up with an alternative for a different day.
For those who are flying off to other exotic locales tomorrow, we wish you luck and hope your flights aren't delayed or cancelled!
The first completely free weekend of the trip was this last weekend. People went to a number of locales. Andy and Barbara made a day-trip out to Bristol and down to Cheddar; on Saturday, some of us went to a strange one-man show which will give us plenty to talk about this week in the Film class. My colleague went driving down the southwest. And students seem to have scattered around--some up to London, some to Plymouth, and some around the town of Bath. I'm hoping those who may be reading this blog will chime in to tell us about your individual adventures.
And now we begin the second full week of educational experiences here in Bath. Some of the students--as part of their assignments in English 117, 144, and/or 174 will be keeping their own blogs about their reading; I'm adding their links over on the right, as soon as I'm aware of them. The rust is coming off and people are warming up and ready to do more academic things, while looking around for more adventures to be had. Here's hoping everyone continues to have a good time.
No pictures in this entry. But we'll keep adding video whenever we can.
Edited to Add: Today has turned out to be a very interesting day. It snowed, really snowed here in Bath. Have a look:
