Had my first "Ghosts, Death & Memory in Renaissance Drama" (aka Shakespeare) class today. It involves a group presentation by each group every other week, which should be...interesting. The two girls I'm with seem very nice and were taking notes very diligently during class, so hopefully it won't be as painful as it was in high school. Still not thrilled with the whole public speaking thing, though.

The prof is either an American or a Brit who's spent a lot of time in the US. I couldn't place the accent. Maybe he's from somewhere in the northeast, where half of them practically sound English already? ;) Anyway, lots of interesting historical context for the course this time around. Should be a good class, if the group presentations aren't too annoying.

I discovered Sainsbury's this morning in town. Much better than Tesco, and not a whole lot more expensive. Still no rye bread, cream of celery soup, or celery seed (I feel like I'm a quest for the holy grail here), but I got almost-but-not-quite-as-good substitutes for the first two in some store-baked French bread that's really tasty and some cream of mushroom soup. It was strange to see Campbell's labels here when I haven't seen too many familiar brands; I had to keep myself from buying out the store.

Ballroom tonight, woo-hoo!
