Busy Week
Random Fact: "Durham Castle is now part of Durham's University and they used some of the indoor shots for the filming of 'Harry Potter'."
I am still alive. It's just been a while since I've gotten internet access. Anyway, I'll try to start with Manchester and work my way down.
After a 2 day stay in Manchester, I made my trip with my loads of luggage back down to the bus station without flying away. I went from the huge city of Manchester to the country side of Leeds. By the way, it looks similar to the South except they have hedges marking off squares of land instead of fences and they have sheep everywhere instead of cows.
I won't get into a lot of detail, but Durham, Bishop Auckland, Gateshead (Metro Centre) and Spennymoor are very lovely places. It's not as Celtic as some would believe, but you do get a sense of something magical in the region. They have amazing cathedrals and you really do get the sense that these people are nothing like the portrayals in American film.
--------------------------------------------
They took me to Sunderland and I have a fairly nice room. I live with both men and woman, 4 of whom major in Pharmacy. There's a Media Com major who gave me an explanatory module guide that told me the requirements of each class and there's another student who is an American Studies major. Unlike many of the other international students, I'm the only one in the dormitory not from the UK, but it's pretty awesome and they all seem very friendly.
