Belated Post

It has been quite a while since I last wrote, almost two weeks to be exact. I have settled in rather nicely. I have had one meeting with my primary tutor for creative writing and presented the first chapter of my novel. I did not know what to expect and so was surprised to find my paper torn up with editors notes, which is exactly what I wanted. We had plenty to talk about, and over all he said that the chapter was a good start and had a lot of good things in it. I just turned in my first paper for my secondary tutorial which was on whether the Chronicles of Narnia are myth or allegory and how best to read them. In short I said that the chronicles are to be read as myth substantiated with Christian truth. I do not think I did too well on it because I have been feeling out of sorts lately, getting random stomach aches throughout the day. It has been about three days since it first started, hopefully it doesn't turn into anything full blown.
I have been going to a church near the center of town called St. Ebbes. I believe it is of Anglican origin but I am not sure. I have met some very nice people there and am excited for how our friendships will grow. The first time I attended, I met two dudes, who invited me to go to a rugby game with them in Bath. It was really nice to hang out with brits on my own and get a feel for how they are and the whole outing turned out to be great fun. The teaching at St. Ebbes is also really good.

I can't think of much else to write and at the moment all I really want to do is sleep so I think I will. Until next time...
