Mar. 31st, 2008 11:21 pmWell, an update. Since I seem to have the time tonight and doubt that will crop up again anytime soon.
I have arrived safe and sound after a much too long travel day (honestly, I was only coming from England) but no problems, so that's good. The BSR is an impressive sight to behold (pictures to come) and I'm still slightly gob-smacked.
I was the first to arrive, but I got greeted at the front door, so yay! The director's assistant Chris gave me a really nice welcome intro and let me sit beside him at dinner so I wasn't absolutely alone. One other girl arrived near the end (Allison from Ottawa, of all places) and we spent the rest of the evening reminicing about Canada and Chris and I about Exeter (he did the course last year and was asked to stay and work, nice!!!) Exhaustion finally drove us to bed.
But oh the food. And oh the coffee. And oh the palm trees. Wait...we have those in England; nevermind. Allison and I are going to go explore tomorrow before everyone else arrives. First stops: gelato and liquor.
Gods I've missed this.
