Jon In England: Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day...

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Studied like a mofo all day and night. At night I went to see Inception at Leicester Square at the Odeon Theatre which is known as the nicest cinema in the UK and houses every major premier screening and I rightfully so. The place was nicer than some Broadway theatres I've been to. You had to by assigned seats in advance, everything is carpeted and upholstered, there was a balcony, a curtain for the screen, Romanesque statues on the wall, I could go on. It was more of an event than a night out. Not to mention the film was absolutely incredible. I was thoroughly captivated for every second. I go home and manage to review one more chapter (on foreign entertainers getting US visas) before going to bed.

Breakfast. Study, Study, Study. Updated blog. Thoroughly enjoying Southwestern's courses starting to consider a transfer.

Class. Spoke to dean of the program and professor Biederman about transferring, which is becoming more and more tempting. After Media Law I went to lunch with Professor Youm, his wife and some students from class to Asadal (Korean place from my birthday). Really an incredible professor and an impressive scholar also very kind to take us out to eat. Studied all afternoon and evening. Met a few kids at the Marlborough Arms (perhaps for the last time) for a pint before going to bed.

7/20

Class. Study,Study,Study, for 8 hours with a study group. 7/21 Last day of class. Really going to miss classmates, professors, college hall and London when the program is over. But no time to think about that now. Got to study. During a study break I noticed that the dorm had a garden-patio area in the back. Really nice, only wish I had discovered it earlier.

Some photos of college hall and the university of London...
