When I see 9 degrees celsius (The temp in London today according to guardian.co.uk) I have no idea how cold/hot that is. Obvi it's above freezing, but, like, how much, relative to this cray cray American elitist system?
Ok, so I know to convert from celsius to fahrenheit you have to like multiply by 1.8 and add your mom, but that's so complicated.
What I want is a chart or something, so that when my new awesome British friends are like "Aw 'ell! It's gonna be like 9 bloody degrees today!" I can be like "Oh ok, that's approximately 48 degrees in America. This time difference is so confusing because now it affects the weather. I should bring a sweater."
Also WHOA HELLO did you know you can just type "9 celsuis to fahrenheit" into google and it tells you the conversion?? Well I need that for my brain. Or I need a chart.
So, get on that, dear friend.

In an effort to buff up on my UK current events, as per the suggestion of the Study Abroad Dean at tonight's pre-departure meeting, I was cruising on the internets for british newspaper websites.
On The Guardian's website, I stumbled across this: Actor slits his own throat after prop knife switch. Doesn't that sound like the plot of a bad murder mystery?? Cray cray.
