The lack of updates is intentional. After our free weekend we came straight back to Norwich (well, 40 minutes outside of Norwich by bus) to work on research and to wrap up the semester. Aside from a day trip to Cambridge on Thursday, nothing exciting has happened. We spend most of our time doing homework, and if we're not doing homework then we are goofing around. Challenging Chris to a game of ping-pong, Sean to a game of tennis in the freezing English weather, watching movies in our classroom... that just about sums up my life here.
On Thursday (Thanksgiving) we have the day off to cook for the entire conference center. The whole group will be cooking. I'm on roast vegetables duty. Shenanigans are planned for Thursday night, but I'm not sure what sorcery Chris and Cheri have devised for our amusement.
Staying inside all day makes us antsy, and because the sun now sets at 4pm we have less daylight hours to goof around outside. So unless you want updates on my research on Dickensian doubling concerning minor characters, with a touch of feminist critique concerning Estella and Biddy in Great Expectations, then you will have to wait until I return to London in December for meatier updates.
