MI6, Trailer of Life, Hair Cut, and Basketball

In case some of you were interested in what my apartment looks like, see the pictures above.

On Wednesday evening I went to a guest lecture by the former head of MI6 (now the headmaster of Pembroke) focusing on terrorism and its effect in Europe and the world. It was very interesting to hear a different side to terrorism, and even praise for the integration of Muslims in the states.
After the lecture was the reception with free wine and pizza. I drank a little too fast, so I ended up leaving the very stuffy room and going with some friends to the Trailer of Life. The Trailer of Life is basically a British food truck open at the wee hours of the morning, and hungry college students go to eat unhealthy, but delicious burgers, chicken nuggets, fries, garlic mayo, you get the picture.

I also went to the Barber shop for the first time in my life (an actual Barber). First, he greeted me with hello in Japanese (there are very blatant racial stereotypes here)...he eventually talked about how he loves pretty American girls. To top it off, I paid 12 pounds (24 dollars...the most expensive haircut I have ever had.) for a hair cut that is not evenly cut. Arggg...I'm going to ask my friend cut my hair next time.

Since I have a final I'm supposed to be studying for, I will get right to the point. I had the opportunity to play basketball with my economics professor today, and it was so much fun! He's a big Greek guy and he was pretty good in the post. We played like 4 games, and won all of them. It always feels good to play basketball, even better if you win. It was pretty interesting because I got to ask him some questions about bond redemption values and such in between games, so that was definitely helpful. Well, tomorrow is the big day before I go off to Ireland and check out where Braveheart was filmed (I am actually going to one of the areas where they filmed).

Until next time,
Cheers!
