We teachers in Britain don't get a lot of long weekends. This coming up weekend is actually my first since I've been here. Monday is May Day. For May Day, Zela, Jackie and I are going to Sunderland. Yes, that hot bed of fun activities. Actually, I hear it's pretty bad but I guess I'll find out in three days. Sunderland is a Premiership team that, unfortunately, is in the bottom three of the table. This, of course, means they will be relegated to the Coca-Cola Championship league next year where they will have to try to finish top two or three to get back up. However, they do have a couple of games remaining before the end of the season and one game is versus the all mighty Arsenal Gunners. And fortunately Sunderland is doing so poorly that we were able to garner tickets to the game. That's the fortunate part of this story. So, Monday we will be off on a 5.5hr car ride to the northeast coast and a 5.5hr return trip posthaste. Arsenal, for all of you non-football fans (like me) are 5th in the premiership table. They are in no danger of getting kicked out of the premiership but they are on the verge of missing top 4. The top 4 from all the european premiership leagues play in an exclusive championship knock-out tournament called the Champions of Europe. It's currently held by Liverpool and Arsenal is up for it this year.
