For those who don't know yet, the University of Cambridge has a much different academic calendar than schools in the states. Each term is around 8 weeks in duration and final exams at the end of the academic year determine the overall grade (talk about pressure!).

Since school won't officially start until October 5th, I won't be leaving the states until sometime at night on September 28th to arrive in the UK on the 29th in time for International student orientation. Consequently, I'll be free to hang out throughout most of September; to all my friends, pester me to come visit you in NY, DC, etc!
