My first class was yesterday (Monday). I only had one and it is called Fiction for Children. The class is about learning how to write for children and appeal to different demographics and age groups. It is a lot of fun! Even though when we split up into group my teacher, who knew I was an American, introduced my to the entire class like this: Everyone... this is Magi and she is an American and she doesn't know anyone... so could she please join someone's group? Crickets.. It was so embarrassing. Then we had to write our own story and read them out loud to the class. My homework: to read the Big Friendly Giant. What a rough time I am going to have :)
That's all I have so far on the academic front. I started running today. I felt like I have been eating enough yorkshire puddings to feed a small village, so its time. My run was awesome. It took me a few steps to find my stride again and get comfortable. But once I did I was able to really enjoy it and look around at what I was running past. The countryside here is like from a movie-- absolutely beautiful. And to get down to my dorm I had to run down a really long, steep hill. I felt like a little kid again, running as fast as I could, pretending to fly. Now the uphill run was another story entirely.. I was wheezing.
Anyway that is all for this short little blog. Hopefully I will have tons more to say by the end of the week when I go to the rest of my classes. Oh, and I promise to get some pictures in soon! As always, thanks for reading!

If you think that it takes a while to re-gain your stride in your 20's, you should try it in your 50's. By the way it was 9 degrees F out there this morning! We received a phone call from Amber yesterday and they are all excited that you will be visiting this summer. Keep those blog posts coming; I enjoy seeing Jolly Olde England through your eyes.
