Orginially from Ohio, I went to the big city of New York for about 5 years (mainly for school), and now I am working towards my masters at Cambridge in England. I hope this website gives everyone a taste of what my life is like here... and if nothing else I think you will find it fun and entertaining!!

British Humor
Here is a little bit of British humor from the guide to graduate studies here... if you don't find it hysterical, read it again...
In a forest a fox bumps into a little rabbit, and says, "Hi, junior, what are you up to?"
"I'm writing a dissertation on how rabbits eat foxes," said the rabbit.
"Come now, friend rabbit, you know that's impossible!"
"Well, follow me and I'll show you." They both go into the rabbit's dwelling and after a while the rabbit emerges with a satisfied expression on his face.
Comes along a wolf. "Hello, what are we doing these days?"
"I'm writing the second chapter of my thesis, on how rabbits devour wolves."
"Are you crazy? Where is your academic honesty?"
"Come with me and I'll show you."
As before, the rabbit comes out with a satisfied look on his face and a diploma in his paw. A moment later, out of the rabbit's cave comes a mean-looking, huge lion leaving behind only some bloody and furry remnants of the wolf and the fox.
The moral: It's not the contents of your thesis that are important-- it's your PhD advisor that really counts.

hehe now if that isn't hilarious, I don't know what is!!!
