So I spent the bulk of the day today applying to UC Riverside.
I’m not really sure why, but I was browsing the UC admissions website, and UCR was still open for admission for the winter 2009 quarter, so I figured, what the hell.
I’d still be a philosophy major, which probably isn’t the best choice, but at least they offer a “law and society” major path for philosophy, which may be applicable elsewhere.
At the same time, I enrolled in two classes at moorpark college, Introduction to Criminal Justice (its always interested me, and I’ve never taken it) and Sociological Analysis (hey, I already analyze people all the time, may as well actually take a class.)
Anyway, we’ll see what happens.

Yesterday (monday July 21st) I took the train from Croydon, up to Prestatyn, North Wales.
After dinner that evening we drove around the area which generally confirmed my early statement about the U.K. being “enchanted.” Simply beautiful country, and even in a tiny area like this, there’s an amazing local church.
Anyway, today I took the train into Liverpool, saw the two cathedrals, then went down to the albert dock to see the beatles museum, the maritime museum, and the international slavery museum. Then I took a quick stop on the train back to see the Lady Lever Art Gallery (on recommendation from paul.)
Tomorrow its off to Alton Towers for a day of “relaxing” if I can call it that, then thursday I head into Manchester.
Friday is undecided, but saturday is a day-trip to Dublin, Ireland… St. James Gate (makers of Guiness) factory tour here I come!
Title says it all, simply breathtaking!!!

I’m uploading some pictures to flickr as I type this (click the “flickr” link in the top menubar to view my photos.)
Mostly panorama’s I shot today at the tower bridge, and the tower of london. I’ve got some regular still shots too, they’ll be up later as well as a couple HDR’s if they turn out ok.
Mind the ghosting in the panorama’s, it seems impossible to get a clear shot without somebody walking in front of my lens, let alone 4,5,7,10,+ shots to stitch together to make a nice panorama.
London is totally enchanted, I feel as though I should take a picture with every step.
