After a critical analysis of the situation, I decided to steal the milk.
Three days into the term and we have been tossed in like the Christians to the lions although at least they got a warning. I'm already knee deep in assignments and seminars. In jurisprudence the impossibly cheerful Marie Kleinhans tossed us the first big presentation of the term and gave us only a week to do it. Reading the required chapter, I could just about make out what was going on. Dammn you Austin! In international law we have an incredibly funny guy called Christopher Waters. He's got the class in stiches so many times already including a funny monologue about his fantasy of jumping the queue at lunch by bullying all the older lecturers ("What are they going to do about it? They all look like they are about to croak anytime soon anyway. I'm the fittest guy in the room so I could do whatever I want right? Who's going to stop me?") He was illustrating why states refrain from doing whatever the hell they want and what keeps them in check besides merely international laws that are not always enforced anyway. We were laughing so much we could barely follow what he was saying.
Further to yesterday's newspaper discussion, this country has a strage tradition- the biggest selling paper 'The sun' has a topless woman on its page 3 every frickin day. This is a family paper! But no one really seems to find it weird. What makes it even more strange- and funny- is that they always have something to say so you wont only get a topless woman with your cereal, but she will also have something clever to say like expressing strong views about the war in Iraq or about Turkey's attempt to join the EU. Its quite funny.
Basically I've been laughing a lot since I got here.

I've noticed as a rule that men don't really mind topless women ever... and women don't mind if she has something interesting to say... neat, eh?
