Butter That Has Been Scraped Over Too Much Bread

It's only second week and I am already apologizing for not blogging more. There is a post about my adventures to Bath in the works, but unfortunately there are also homework, papers, and more sight-seeing in the the works. I'm feeling a bit like I'm being pulled in too many directions, but I promise a new post will be up before I leave for York (Friday) and after I finish my paper on Medieval drama (tonight).

Until then, a tidbit of an adventure:

I think I have picked up enough of a Minnesotan accent to sound Canadian to the foreign ear. As far as I can tell, most people on the trip are asked if they are American; I just get asked if I am from (very specifically) North America. Seeing as I don't look the slightest bit Hispanic, Canada seems to be the only other country of origin option. Hmmm...

And a picture of me and my roommates at Abbey Road:
We were out of step and the picture is off, but we were pretty proud of ourselves.

    It seems to me that whenever someone's vowels are off and they look at all pasty, people default to Canadian. That happened a few times last year - I've seen it in Brazilian and Swedish exchange students whose American accents were nearly (but not quite) flawless.
