Well, I guess first off, I went to my first HOUSE PARTY EVER! And it was ok. A little awkward, because everyone was first starting to meet each other, but I met a lot of really cool people. One of them is a British guy who tells lots of great "gags" (jokes) and uses the phrase "rock 'n roll" to describe things. For instance, "Hey are you two planning to come to Evensong tonight? It should be pretty rock 'n roll." =3
Next, Maggie, another Blackfriars Visiting Student, and I went exploring through a cemetery after a really boring library induction session. And after going through that, we stumbled upon New College and decided to take a detour through it.
And that's when we found Hogwarts. I know these pictures are pretty poor, but I was so excited that I couldn't really take good pictures. I promise to do better next time! And sorry for stealing your flickr idea, Ana! Anyway, our adventure through New College was amazing, and I wish I could've seen more of the inside of the buildings.
Throughout the week, we had dinner at various restaurants with different friars acting as "supervisors." And these dinners were probably the highlights of my stay so far. Especially the last dinner at the Mitre. I was in stitches and tears by the end of the night. Oh and speaking of dinners, I finished my first drink at a pub called the Cricketers' Arms (Don't pubs have the greatest names?) last night! =) It was this really sweet peach drink with peach schnapps and "lemonade" (I guess lemonade is sometimes used to refer to sprite). The British guy with the "gags" had a name for it that I can't remember. It was really, really good, but the same guy warned me not to get drunk off of them, because it's a miserable experience.
Anyway, I need to get back to the books, since this is my first week of tutorials. xP So cheers, everyone!
P.S. I bought my first hat here. And it kind of looks like my favorite detective's hat. =)
