So I have been in Colchester for one year and I have to say I have really enjoyed it. I did not go around to the small villages like I thought I would, but there is always tomorrow, no? I have been able to travel a bit though. I have gone to conferences in Washington, D.C., Durham and Cambridge here in the UK and next week I am going to Cyprus. One of the great perks of my job, being able to see places I may not have otherwise seen.
Other than DC, I also went to Colorado and LA to visit friends and family.
Work is going really well, I have already submitted one paper and am working on the next two. I also resubmitted a paper from my work up in Glasgow and I am working on the next two for that project as well. So as you can see professoinally things are happening.
Of course personally, I have not been out much and am not dating, but I am looking so if you know anyone...lol.
I have been trying to keep up with USC sports as best as I can and I have to say I am excited about the new AD, but was really dissapointed to see Coach Carroll leave and I am not all that hopeful for this year, however since they can't go to a bowl anyway, I just hope that they can win more than we lose. And really, to lose to Washington again, what is that about.
I am not going to make this a long post, as I plan to post again when I get back from Cyprus and I am going back to Cambridge later this month, so I will have much better pictures.
I do have to say though that if any of you make it to this side of the pond, go to Cambridge, it is a lovely city and the Colleges of Cambridge are a sight to see. So much history! Here are just a few sites:
This first picture is of the gardens at Clare College were we were staying. The second picture is of the River Cam and a tiny bit of the King's College Chapel.
Here, the first picture is of someone punting on the River Cam (look it up folks) and a different view of the gardens at Clare College.
As I said I am going back so I will be sure to take more pictures and share them.
I will leave you with a few more pictures from my trip to DC, if you cannot make it over here, at least got there and enjoy a bit of US history.
So until next time, thanks for coming to see what I have been up to , hopefully next time will be a bit more interesting.
Cheers and FIGHT ON!
