The Westminster Archives runs a program for year 5 and year 6 students that gets students to study World War II via football (soccer). One of the big thrills for the kids is a visit to the Chelsea Football Club, where they get to tour the stadium, meet a real Chelsea Pensioner, and meet the co-Author and illustrator of the book Billy the Kid, of which the program is based around. As one of the head co-ordinators intern, it's a pretty decent way to spend the day. I help usher the kids from one part of the program to the next, get a free lunch, and as much coffee as I can drink. My professor was quite jealous when he heard where I get to spend part of my week; if only I was into football. This experience has made me realize though that if I'm going to survive a year in England, I'm going to have to pick a team and start watching football. I think my judging criteria will consist of who has the hottest players. This method has worked well in the past...
