Victory!

Those last three weeks of hard work have finally paid off. Last night we officially, and legitimately, won the pub quiz at the stile. By six points. I quote the quizmaster: 'It was a high scoring week'. This week's killer round topic was geography, and we luckily have two geography majors in our group, so we totally kicked butt. The final question was: 'In what country is Timbuktu?' The only down side was that there weren't quite as many groups this week as last week, so we only won 48 pounds. But I'm not complaining, by any means. I must also add that the starter round was a logic puzzle this week, where the first team to turn it in correctly got ten points, and then each team after that got one point less than the team before, and we totally got that one right as well. We'll have to wait and see if the feat can be repeated again next week.

Might I also add that in the grocery store the cheese is divided into two sections: 'cheddar' and 'continental'. And the cheddar is excellent by the way, and white. I haven't bothered to go continental quite yet.

Off to the library. Again. We got another essay assigned yesterday that is due in the pre-Christmas break madness stretch. Woo-hoo...

Is "your group" the master's engineering students? If so, then they let geography majors in? Or is this just a tavern group?

The group is all masters engineering students. Half of the general population seems to major in Geography here. It's more legitimate here than in the US. And it's not a tavern, it's a pub.
