Here's a recap of my lecture today in English literature:
The Victorians coined the phrases 'homosexual' and 'nymphomaniac', gave us the theory of evolution and an explosion in the production of fiction, with an advancement in surveillance to boot. Hooray for Dickens, Darwin, and Eliot.
Here's something that not many others I know can say: I have watched Crocodile Dundee with Australians. Tonight was movie night in Beaumont House, and I can assure you that the Aussies are as entertained by that movie as we are.
To top off my evening I had a pint in Beaumont Bar with my KU friend Jen, who is leaving tomorrow morning for London. Kate has already left for Paris, as have many others. We international students are busy busy busy.
And the rain rain rain came down down down. Funny how much I am reminded of Winnie the Pooh here, but I suppose it makes sense.

Only you is right, Vans. You're doing such brilliant and interesting and often hilarious things over there. I hope you're planning on printing hard copies of your pictures and making a Leisure Suite-style photo album, because I want to be re-told these stories with visual aids someday.
Oh Pooh Bear. He says hello from the walls of the Bungalow bar.
