Today we went to watch Sheffield Wednesday play a big match against Crystal Palace. We were originally meeting Sam (the son from next door) and his girlfriend Amy at the pub near the stadium. Sam got a ticket to the match, and there were too many hooligans at the pub to stay without Sam close by, since it was just the four of us girls. We decided to go to our local, the Bull's Head and watch there.
We had quite a few beers (I drank a good deal of Beck's) and watched Wednesday play a close match to Crystal Palace. It was a draw, but because CP was ahead in points so Wednesday was relegated to the lower league for next season.
Amy was a great hostess, and introduced us to her friends at the pub. We had a great time, though Mel might have had a little too much fun.
I went home for Sunday Dinner (or Roast) and it was so delicious. Exactly what I needed after a few beers and a loss. We had Yorkshire pudding, which resembles a pop-over in texture and taste, mashed potatoes, vegetables, their version of tater-tots (not really but they were darn good) and roast chicken.
The English we have spoken to ask alot of questions. It makes me really think about my life back home, and I find that I could really get used to life here. I like to 1. Drink 2. watch sports 3. take holiday 6 weeks a year 4. be outdoorsy 5. use public transport 6. be only a 3 hour flight to all of europe 7. eat healthy foods 8. drink 9. watch sports 10. take holiday 6 weeks a year.
Tomorrow the goal is to go to Chadsworth where Pride and Prejudice was filmed.
On a totally unrelated note, I have to pay my Clemson fees and I'd like to point out I have to pay to have a job under the Graduate Assistant fee: $315
Relegation is a big deal for soccer, I can imagine there will be quite a few unhappy people in Sheffield the next couple of days. You should try to pay attention to all the election stuff over the next couple of days too, it should get pretty interesting over there. Glad you have had the chance to explore so much already, any pictures yet?
