St. Paul’s (the 2nd)
After sitting in one of the wings last Sunday, this time we got to St Paul’s a half-hour early to sit a little more near the center. It was right in front of the ‘podium’ where the service was given. She gave a very modern interpretation of Mary Magdalene, of Mary from Magdalena. After revisiting the Tate, I was able to bask in the glory that is surrealism/minimalism/modern art. It was another rainy day, much like the rest of the week. The flood did damage much of England, just outside of London, to the west, some of the tube and a few trains were even shut down.
I have a feeling, now we are in the midst of the final weeks, and over the ‘hump’ of this course that most of the student that have come are no longer in the ‘excitement’ phase and are starting to realize they aren’t at home anymore. I’ll admit I’m homesick, but I’m also aware that America will be there in two weeks. “I just want to go home” seems to be a daily mantra for over half the students, I seem to hear it at least 3-4 times a day.

Hey Chris,
It is a pity that it has rained so much. Renaud’s sister came in from France yesterday and she said that it had been rainy and cold there all summer. I hope it clears up for the remainder of the time! Thanks again!
