Post Number TWO!

Sorry, this is totally late. Not having internet at the house limits my time...
So, as I said, I want to give you a little info about where I live.
Carlisle is a small city of about 100,000 people, but when I'm in the center of town, I don't feel like I'm really in a city, which is nice. We (the students), live in St. Cuthbert's Vicarage, next to a thirteenth century cathedral and various other lovely buildings. There are stone walls everywhere around, hence the name of my street: West Walls. We're a couple of blocks from the town center where there's tons of good shops/cafes/pubs.
Our lectures and most of our weekdays are conducted in the GRACO building, a made-over office building. The GRACO is right next to the McVitties factory, and during the week we smell biscuits in the air. Mmmmmmm.
I am not the only North American/foreigner. In fact, English students are the minority.
But, it is England, and I am trying to get used to English-English, using words like trousers (because "pants" are UNDERpants), biscuits (because cookies aren't cookies apparently), and queue (because no one stands in line here).
MMkkkk. So, that's all I've got for now, if you want any particular info be sure to let me know and I'll fill you in!
