The mumblings and musings of an English Literature student from the University of Warwick on a year abroad at the University of Connecticut, USA. The excitements, misunderstandings, confessions, confusions and adventures that are part and parcel of a year in a very foreign country.
"I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything." — Bill Bryson

How To Get A Date On Campus...
... not that I need one obviously!
Firstly, before I do anything, you must watch this video:
What you just witnessed are the comedy delights of Dave and Ethan, two guys who claim to know all there is to College Dating.... debatable I know!
Anyways as one of my New Years Resolutions was to make the most out of my time left here at UConn, on Thrusday night, Emily, Rachel and I went to the Student Union to see the first comedy act of the semester; the hilarious duo, Dave and Ethan. I'm not going to lie, I was scared that it would be an hour of my life which I would never get back. An hour which would be filled with unfunny, American humour. Oh how wrong I was. It was hilarious. H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S.
Dave and Ethan shot to fame (well semi-fame.. I hadn't heard of them!) when they posted a video on youtube and craigslist advertising themselves for a double date. They had hundreds of replies and after 200 or so double dates they now claim to know everything there is to know about dating - and have a few funny stories to tell in the process. They had such great charisma and stage presence and were not afraid to make complete and utter fools out of themselves, which of course they did. It was great. They enacted what to do to avoid bad dates (don't mention Herpes!) and what a good date entailed. There was cringeworthy and brilliant audience participation, role play, and singing and dancing- including some fantastic solos on the triangle. A packed full show.
If you get the chance I highly recommend you see them, and if you don't get the chance, then at least subscribe on youtube for a good giggle!
