Today was a glorious day for an adventure!
A group of girls and I decided that we didn't want to waste the first real weekend at school, so we decided to randomly take the train to Manchester for the day. This was a great day! Except when we got there, there weren't many people on the streets. Well, apparently Man U was playing right when we got there so everyone was in the pubs watching, and the Labor Conference was going on, so things were pretty busy. We were asked many times to comment on the Labor Movement, which we quickly denied knowing anything about. After all, we are FOREIGNERS.
We wandered around town for a bit and then we traveled to Old Tafford, The Theatre of Dreams, the stadium where the great MANCHESTER UNITED plays. This was literally one of the coolest things I've seen since being here. It's so weird to step foot in the stadium that I watch on TV. This place was GIGANTIC. We grabbed the last couple spots on the tour of the stadium and went everywhere from the field itself to the changing rooms, where we were allowed to take pictures with the teams jerseys (see below).

All in all, today was fantastic! The girls and I had a great time spending time with each other and playing tourists. :)
Classes start tomorrow, oh boy! (sarcasm? indeed). Time to buckle down! Until next time...
