Today we spent about 2 hours wandering into the city centre and the surrounding colleges of Cambridge University - again. We also invaded an unsuspecting residential neigborhood in our quest to locate the Faculty of Divinity building on campus... which was counterproductive, but very scenic. I had no objections to the walk, even if the temperature does level out somewhere around 48 degrees Farenheit. Walking and cycling are the two best ways to transport oneself around Cambridge, and I have to admit that the necessity of exercise here is hugely beneficial to my outlook upon it.
We've been collecting Cambridge postcards to send home, so if you want one, be sure that we have your address!
In recent news: Jaime, myself, and our housemate Matt (also from St. Louis) have just booked accommodation at a hostel in Ireland for a few nights over the Easter break... which coincides nicely with St. Patrick's Day. We'll be staying in the coastal town Dun Laoghaire (Dun-LEERy) which is 20 minutes by car, or 2 hours by foot to Dublin itself. We can't wait. :)
Other than that, I am currently enjoying the chance to catch up on a lot of reading while Jaime is in class, and we are of course enjoying our explorations of the area. We do miss our friends and family, though! OH! And in case anyone is contemplating sending us care packages... microwave popcorn would be a huge hit in the house. :)

Poo on you! I did some research today though and found a roundtrip ticket to London for around St. Patrick's at the low low price of $740. Now if I can just find a job!
