Commandant, Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance? ~ Edgar Bergan :-) As for the mindlessness of comments by some people of education and intellect - it baffles me as much as it does you and I fear that for me, ignoring them is easiest. The problem with that, is that without challenges posed to them, they have free reign to be as feudal and as ignorant as they please...I can go on a very long diatribe on this point, so it's best to keep quiet while I can so I'm not pulling my hair out in sheer agony! You seem to have a rather busy week or two ahead, I hope it's not excrutiatingly busy--what with spurts of footsie in between and all :-) As far as the semester is concerned, it's a program through Pace University in Indiana and the classes in London are held at the UCL. I will let you know of things as they come about in that regard but I am already thrilled to bits at the prospect of living through a rainy, cold and dreary winter in Belayat :-) Till later Commandant, Adieu.
