Life in a castle.
So, for the summer I decided that it would be a great idea to swan off to England and teach on an international program for Queens university. One of the benefits - teaching in a 15th century castle. My office overlooks the courtyard from the top floor shared mostly by pigeons which have taken to standing on the battlements outside my window. The program itself is great - you sit two classes over a 5 week period (one of them quite possibly mine) interspersed with a number of field trips to London, Oxford and so forth. The entire affair is intensive yet strangely laid back where you get to share meals in the Oxbridge like dining hall, a beer or two in the pub contained within the castle, or a seminar somewhere in the grounds. Living accommodation is also worthy of note - Im lucky to be in one of the new suites. For the rest there is Bader Hall - comfortable living for students and faculty. Next year, if youre bored with life in the States, I'd very much recommend it to you as a change. Im also teaching a class you cant get from me at RIT - International Marketing - something else to look forward to!
