Another delayed update.

Family visit was wonderful, though it's tough to say goodbye again. Should see Nathan again in the next couple weeks, though, once my month-long (hurrah) Easter break starts.

Heading on a day trip to Lincoln tomorrow -- thanks to a tourist promo thing, the major attractions are all free.

A few miscellaneous tidbits:

British English vs American English (expect more of these on occasion): "revise" is used to mean "review" (ie, study), not specifically to "rewrite"

Also, when I mention to British students that I'm from Philadelphia, nobody ever mentions American history (Liberty Bell, Declaration of Independence, etc). It's nigh-invariably one of the following three that's the first thing they think of:
1. Philadelphia brand cream cheese (yeah, they have it here too)
2. Rocky
3. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air -- for the less culturally savvy among you (IE, parents), this was Will Smith's sitcom, before he got Really Famous. Anyway, he played a character from Philly, who... oh, just IMDb it.
