Some things, and some other things

Ah, only in a British university with a significant population of Americans abroad would one make extensive mealtime conversation about a certain silvery-white metal, which is otherwise quite commonplace and unremarkable.

Speaking of which, I can handle car park, chips, crisps, sweets, lorries (how often do they come up in conversation?), jumpers, inverted commas, et cetera, et cetera. I have been acclimated to these things at great length. No, what really gets me is referring to the things which I have come here to take as "modules". Perfectly bizarre.

I quite like the modules I'm taking, though: The Middle Ages and the Movies, and The Vikings: Invasion, Settlement and Conversion, c. 750-1050 (otherwise known as: My ancestors raped and pillaged your ancestors! Unless you're also Scandinavian, or you're from quite far away [the Vikings got around, you know]). Love this stuff.

The debate society is taking up the motion This House Believes That Harry Potter is a Danger to our Children on Wednesday, which should be no end amusing, and not just because of the free sherry.

I am a cool trendsetting person, as practically everyone has put their room number in the title of their shared iTunes music library. Unfortunately, all of them listen to terrible, terrible music.
