Walking to class every morning, I have noticed something about students here: they're goddamn slobs. Now, I'm not trying to be a hypocrite-- I mean, every space that I occupy invariably turns into a giant laundry hamper several times a week and you'll have more luck trying to find something with a divining rod than looking systematically-- but at least when I drink, I clean up the cans / bottles / carnage when I'm done. I've actually started a Daily Foster's Can Tally (what is it with that beer that shit isn't even that good): the most I saw was 12 empty cans, just lying on the ground, and my walk doesn't even take me anywhere near a residence. Seriously. Also, I recently saw an empty bottle of wine half-hanging out of a hedge. I have no idea how it got there. Well, I know how it got there. I guess what I mean is, I have no idea WHY it was there. I mean, as environmentally conscious as the British seem to be, there's garbage ("rubbish") cans ("bins") all over the place. Is it really that hard to put the bottles in the recycling? I mean, how drunk do you have to be to think that a hedge is recycling?
Anyway, you may have noticed that a significant amount of time has elapsed between my last post and this one. That's because SCHOOL ATE ME. I actually had to pull an all-nighter for the first time in years (well ok, a year) and all I did was write up a lab and do a problem set. I mean... what? I took a photo of my desk after I finished because literally every inch was covered in papers, textbooks, calculators, etc.:
And the mess continued for another two feet. Great.

Yes! Brits drink too much! Is there even a drinking age?
I lived there for 6 months in 1971-72 and i was shocked at how much bottle debris i saw back then, in London [Nw7]...
They drink so much simply because their women are so damn ugly!
