off to yale

So now I know what I am doing during winter. I'm off to Yale to study sitcoms!!!!

Below is a course on offer at Yale over their Summer. So jealous. How fun would this be. I found this after chatting to an American girl, who as I discovered had a love for the delightful Gilmore ladies, and as our discussion went further, she divulged that in America there are university courses that study the Gilmore Girls. And then, at that moment, I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Everything was clear and life felt good. I was off to America to study the Gilmore Girls. So I figure I might as well start at Yale, as it was also Rory's choice, and I'll see how I go!!!!
