That's a nonsense idea. No one's ever flagged it for me before. So why on earth? It's not going to happen. And then I got in. Wow.

I've given it to myself. I think that might be a really good idea. Like exchange studenting, maybe. Some professor swaps? Maybe. Everyone wants six months in London. Here's the thing.
