A fun day of class in London.

Our proposed class bill that now hangs proudly in my flat.

Okay, so I've been a slacker on the whole blog thing lately buutttt.....I didn't forget about you all in the States!  

So, Monday, January 26:

Today I had British Life & Culture class.  During the second half of our day our teacher made us role play as Parliament.  Last week we each received notebooks with certain colored stickers and numbers on the front of them.  Those colors and stickers each meant something for our Parliament exercise.  I received a red sticker and the number three on my notebook; this meant that I belonged to the Labour Party and also that I was a Cabinet Minister, one of the heads of government next to the Prime Minister.  On Monday, I, along with the "Prime Minister" Gordan Brown (AKA my flat mate Bri) & 3 other Cabinet Ministers had to propose a Bill during lunch for our "Parliament" to discuss and pass.  Our teacher instructed us to make it a fun bill so this is what we came up with (and before we came up with the bill our teacher said last year's class made their bill state that each American man who came to London had to wear a scarf):

I, Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of this fine class, under the instruction of Sir Lyndon Sly, with the help of my lovely Ministers of State do propose a bill in which states:

In any pub or club, any English gent whom encounters and/or converses with a woman of American descent, must therefore by law purhcas the woman a drink of her choice and not be obliged to buy him a drink in RETURN!

(the bill was amended and passed with one little addition: this bill is only valid during 3 days, Thur., Fri,. & Sat., and after payday)
