Right off the bat I discovered the first perk of business class: you waited on a separate, priority line to board the plane. It still took some time for the people ahead of me to file into the plane, but I must have spent a good half hour enjoying the cabin instead of being slowly […]

Okay, I figured that the keyboards here in the UK might replace the dollar symbol with the pound sign. I can fix that. What I can’t fix are the small physical differences in the keyboard that are totally messing with me. When I trained to touch-type, I took into account that the enter key and […]
Warhammer 40k Release Event Battle Report
This report doesn’t contain any confusing lingo, and even those with no Warhammer 40k experience will be able to understand it. I was excited to play my first real game of 40k, at a tournament no less, even though I did not have my army with me. I instead played with whatever I could whip […]
Tidbits
Random things I’ve learned while here: If you’re cooking meat and don’t know if you’ve cooked it long enough, do not take a bite out of it to check. Squishy = bad. Rock climbing barefoot is an exercise in pain tolerance. Don’t do it. A sunny day can and will turn to rain soon enough. […]
No, that’s not iced tea
I was told to do something crazy. Well, this one’s for you, Jen. Company took us out to the Beer Engine in order to welcome us to Exeter. Everything was on the house, and this was perhaps the safest place I could do it in terms of company and self-restraint, not to mention I was […]
Ow. Pain.
Walked over six miles today. It’s 1.2 miles to work and 1.5 miles to the gym, much of it uphill. It’s 1.5 miles from work to the shopping center/centre, and another .5 miles back home. Home -> work -> stores -> home -> gym -> home. If nothing else, I’ll be more than prepared for […]
Sex train
The other intern and I had been planning to book a coach at the airport once we arrived, and take a four-hour ride into Exeter. We arrived an hour later than expected, but there were trains all throughout the day, so we figured we’d be fine. Pshh, no. We walked up to one of the […]
*fumble*
When at the cash register I realized something: with this new currency, I don’t know how to count change XD . Two pounds, two pence, one pound, one pence, ten pence, twenty pence, fifty pence, I thought dollar coins were bad but this is ridiculous!
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time…
I was a little nervous last night, but today I’m simply excited. Not for the trip to England, no, I’m excited because I’m going to be flying business class. A few years ago this would have been called “first class” but airlines thought that having to fly “economy” was too degrading so they changed economy […]
My right leg is still sore
Went out to Union Square to meet up with an old friend. It was the first time in a while that I’ve gotten out of the house, and just my luck, it’s extremely humid. So we did what city kids do: take shelter inside air conditioning. Our refuges were Whole Foods and Barnes and Nobles, […]
