Orientation took place today, so now we have operable information on where we'll be and when. Field trips are on Fridays (six are scheduled), and I don't have any classes on Thursdays.

For the first time in the last six years, Canterbury Christ Church is going to have a field trip to Stonehenge and the Bath City center. That will be our last trip, on March 14th. First is a guided tour of Canterbury, as well as the Cathedral. Later, we'll also be going to the war tunnels at Dover, Dover Castle, Windsor Castle, the Globe Theatre, and the Cabinet war rooms.

Coming in, we had a fair amount of inaccurate info from the Heartland staff, but that was all easily countered by the eight-hour-long orientation that took place today. We went out for Chinese food afterward, so I guess I'll let it slide.

There's plenty to talk about, but I'll have to wait until I'm not so overwhelmed to do it artfully. Don't worry, I won't leave anything out. In the mean time, here's a picture I took from a second-floor window on our building from the hallway.

The street is narrow enough that it could be blocked by two men lying down end-to-end across it; fourteen feet, maybe less. And it's not a pedestrian zone. I'll have more interesting pictures (some with me in them) fairly soon. The trouble is getting far enough away from something to get a decent shot at it.

Classes and registration start tomorrow, and actual lectures are few and far between with Thursdays being completely unoccupied, and Fridays are free unless there's a field trip - and generally there will be. There will be lots of time for independent study, which is great.

I'll have something more soon.
