I suppose the title is misleading. It's not England that is lacking in the internetorial department, rather it is the area they've placed us that isn't particularly hospitable for those of us who depend so (too) much on the internet. As I can only briefly post for now, I'll keep it short. The weather is surprisingly pleasant, with very little rain so far and temperatures nice enough to allow me to wear shorts and a tshirt and be comfortable. The food is blech at best-- but all of my meals have been from on-campus eaterys and the like so I wasn't reall expecting much from them anyway. We'll see how dinner in city centre goes later. People have been interesting. Right now I'm in the middle on international students welcome week, so there are people from all over the world. As odd as it is to think so, I am an international student. Anyway, I've been meeting people from all over-- Australia, Sri Lanka, Algeria, even the exotic land of Canada. Everyone is pretty amenable and pleasant to talk to, especially because most are in university for the first time or at least are in the UK for the first time so they're dead-set on making new friends.
That's the appended version of the story so far. When I have more regular and dependable access to the internet I'll anecdote all over this blog.
