Sunday: Some of us got together on Sunday night for an informal drink at the Lansdowne, a pub that was to become very familiar to many of us. I was quite jet-lagged so joined a bit late and feeling some trepidation. A frilly girly drink later and I was feeling much better about things, and I'm not usually a girly drink kind of girl. Already it was a great cross-section of nationalities, representing Greece, England, Scotland, Canada and the U.S.A. and boded well for the week. I did find it quite funny that initially the table was totally gendered, guys on one side, girls on the other. Safety in numbers, eh?
Monday: I'm sure I'm not the only one who found getting up for class particularly difficult, but the coffee and cookies, I should say 'biscuits', were a definite help. There was a brief moment of sunshine for the group photograph, which I almost missed, and of course the infamous Quiz Night. Oh, there was some museum-related lecture business, too, but let's be real, we were all thinking about our complimentary drink coupons.
The Quiz was fun, although some of us flexed our brain-muscles better than others. By the way, I've quite enjoyed my bottle of white. Seriously, though, did anyone get the question about Foucault's Pendulum correct? And who knew quarks came in flavours? And I may never hear "Dancing Queen" the same way again.
And then, for those of us who just couldn't get enough, it was back to the Lansdowne. I'm not sure, but does anyone else see a pattern emerging?

The motion blur on that beer arm is outstanding.
Hi Maya!! Does "first part" mean that the worst is yet to come??
Just kidding! I was always sober enough to remember that we were all well behaved!
Oh, there is most definitely MORE TO COME !
Hey,
So this is what you were doing all week! I so don't look happy on that first night. It may have been the thought of Sam having to sleep on my floor tho...Nice to see everyone again, I'd forgotten what you all looked like!
(Also, I seem to have managed to infiltrate my way into lots of photos, not good!)
