Sunny and warmer today, finally!

Finally a day that hasn't been freezing! Still chilly, but spring chilly, not winter cold!

Had a poor sleep last night - too much legal stuff in my brain right now. I also know this as I'm joking around with people about limitation and exclusion clauses in a contract for holding open a door. groan.

Today is my second longest day - tomorrow is longer. But today I have every class - so in addition to the ones from yesterday you can add Criminal law. I have that after dinner tonight. Right now I'm on a mini-break before supper.

Again I'm very glad to be here. Just hearing the professors speak about the material is really helping. I have so much to do when I get home but at least now I have some direction! Its pretty awesome that I'm learning from the professors who teach the cambridge students. I have John Hopkins who is the course director and has a bazillion titles under his name about where he's registered and a fellow and a professor ad so on - he teaches Constitutional law. His wife is another professor, she teaches Contract law, and is a barrister and a director of another college here at Cambridge. Then I have the Judge/lecturer for the English legal system, and finally another private professor at Cambridge for Criminal. Pretty humbling in the grand scheme of things - these are the people who turn out the Cambridge grads who generally end up running England (or so they'd have us believe).

At lunch today I didn't mimick my fellow 'moss-growing' students (ha ha thanks SW for that quote), instead I marched around more of the city. I took a different bridge over the Cam today and ended up behind both Kings College and Trinity College, two of Cambridge's oldest. Now remember, we're talking 800 years old, not 40 like SFU!!! The architecture leaves Canadian schools a bit wanting...but I'm sure they'e drafty! I somehow ended up in the middle of the town, right by a market, so decided to have lunch and people watch for a bit. All the proper students are away on their Easter break (5 weeks no less) so the 'real' people of the town are out (or loads of british tourists). I really quite enjoy walking around this town - so many little streets that will take you to cute little areas, but you can never get lost!

Anyhoo I'll be grabbing dinner in a bit and then be back in class from 7 - 9pm, then hitting they hay, to do it all again tomorrow!
