london?

[katie]

so, hi.

i think i am going to take a class in london this summer. on caribbean carnival arts. it will be an audition for the school i think i want to get my master's at (middlesex university). do any of you folks across the pond have any knowledge of this university and more importantly, if i am in london this summer, will you visit me?

[monet2u]

oooo that sounds wonderful. you'd have so much fun katie, london is a fabulous city! I'm headed back there myself next month. Hell, maybe I'll visit you this summer. I really need to stop travelling during the winter over there.

[Steveums]

i have absolutely no idea about the uni, but i will DEFINITELY visit you and show you some cool places.
and also force you to come to bristol

notting hill carnival is probably one of the best in the world.

remember, we used to own the colonies.

Let us know if you're coming over and we'll do our best to meet up with you!

[katie]

i will certainly let you know what my plans are for coming to england.

and sunny, you badass cynic, it was really the only class that interested me much. the rest were classes i'd taken before or visual arts, which i suck at.

[The module aims to introduce student to relevant performance processes and styles of Caribbean-derived carnival, and to develop students' knowledge and understanding of the cultural, historical, political and socio-economic contexts of carnival arts. It will offer practical workshops as well as visits from carnival practitioners.]

sounds pretty friggin awesome to me.

I didn't mean to imply the class was dumb, I just thought it was funny. Besides, any opportunity to study abroad is a good one.

And Steve, remember Spain used to own Texas too, but I wouldn't go there to learn how to BBQ.
Well, actually, I guess I would. But only because any opportunity to study abroad is a good one.

This is where I beat Nerf to the punch with a joke about "studying a broad."

Never mind.

i can't wait to finally get out of the country. i haven't even been to canada. i've only been out of new england a handful of times. if i went there for the summer, i would be travelling all over europe (the class is only tues/thurs during the day). i can't think of a better vacation, seriously.

You're not missing much.

Re "punchline" becca

yeah, but you don't get a texan subculture in the suburbs of madrid, do you?

[Irock]

I donno, didn't spend much time in the Madrid suburbs. If only I had a friend from the area who could drop some knowledge on me....

i "don't know anything about the Washington DC suburbs, either." rock
