Day 4: Monday, July 6 - Rain, rain go away...

I know, I know, I've been slacking on the blogging. But I haven't been feeling very well, sadly. Not "sick", just under the weather. Most of today has been spent in class or in my room, so I'll just do a little recap of this day since not much happened.

There are five classes we can choose from here, with the option of taking no more than three. They are: International Comparative Criminal Law, European Constitutionalism, EU Trade Law, International Women's Rights, And EC Competition/Antitrust Law. I had originally intended on taking just the EU Trade and EU Competition classes but, like most students, I sat in on the other classes the first day to make sure I made the right choice. The Women's Rights class was so fun that I toyed with the idea of adding that class too.

As expected, after class I was tired and not feeling the best so I walked around a bit. It was at this point that I was caught in a torrential downpour. Thank god I had my brolly, but with all the lightening, I wondered how safe that was!!! It stopped after about 10 minutes, then in true English (and Michigan!) fashion, the sun was back out. By this time, I was really tired, so I called it a night and went back to my room to retire for the night.

The thunderstorm in brewing...


...the heavens open...


...I duck in here for safe cover...



...waiting patiently for it to blow over. Finally I stopped waiting and just got on with trying to find my way back. I was already soaked from head to toe, so I couldn't get any wetter.
