Well, only 3 weeks left in England before I turn in my dissertation and go back to the US. The paper is coming along pretty well and I have pretty much proved what I set out to do. So that is something, although it just means that all of my graphs and statistical tests just tell me that there are no differences between the groups that I am testing, which gets old.
This week I went to London with a friend. We wanted to see an exhibit at the National Gallery about fakes and frauds in paintings. It was a really cool exhibit and by the end we were able to see some of the problems with the paintings, but realized that you would have to really be an expert in one painter to really suspect that a painting was or wasn't by that person. After the museum we went out to Hampton Court Palace. We had to take a train about 30 minutes outside of London, but it was a really cool place to see. I have pictures but I haven't gotten them onto my computer yet, so when I get them up I'll put the link on here. We saw Henry VIII get married and saw the apartments of William III(?), a Mary, and Henry VIII. They also had some beautiful gardens and the world's largest grape vine. They also had a hedge maze that we went through. The day was going really well until we got off at the wrong tube stop on the way home and then missed our bus. We had to buy a new ticket home and it cost us more than the round trip that we had originally purchased. So that was crap, but overall the day was nice.
Thursday I packed and cleaned all day and then Friday was moving day. We had to check out of the place we've been staying all year and then move into the new place in Bournemouth. It took two trips to move all of my stuff and I'm going to have to make some decisions about things to throw away before coming home, but for now I'm all moved in to the new place and can just work on my paper with no other distractions about moving and such. So I suppose that is all from me for now. When I get the pictures up I'll post again. Have a great week and I'll talk to you later.
