Fish for Your Chips

My Study Abroad Experience to Leicester, England.

This is the blog I wrote before I left England about the Christmas dinner:

I was in Luana’s room the other day and found out about crackers (no not like edible Ritz).  They are toys that they have at Christmas that you pull open like a popper, it makes a loud bang, and then inside is a paper crown, a joke, and either a toy or candy.  I was so excited, like a kid a Christmas(haha).  Block 2 had planned a traditional British Christmas meal at the Slug & Lettuce (yes, that is the name of the restaurant and despite its name it was beautiful).   
Now let me expand. Crackers are amazing! I brought some home to my family and they loved them.  I've seen them in the movies and they're real! Haha! Dinner was good. It was like our Thanksgiving dinner. I had turkey and gravy; parsnips; brussel sprouts (which I liked); some of the others had roast.  We did secret santa, I got to be Santa. It was all really nice. Ali, J, and Alex came dressed as Snap, Crackle, and Pop for some bar hop/club deal. It was really funny.  There are pictures.  
That was about all.

So here's the fish:

My name is Ariel Macon. I will be studying abroad in Leicester, England for my Fall semester. This is my account of the experience.

I am new to this so bear with me. I will most likely write off and on. One week I may write everyday or more, while others maybe once.

Reminder: I will be 6 hrs ahead of Central Time. I could be talking about my afternoon in your late night hours/early morning.
Here is a time reference:
Noon (me)=6 am (central)
5 pm (me)= 11 am (central)
10 pm (me)= 4 pm (central)

Enjoy!
