This whole schoolwork thing is just tragic. Haha. No really, I guess I just forgot how much reading is involved in Lit classes. Do not laugh...it's also all crammed in really quickly. So I feel like I spend so much time reading and doing schoolwork. Which, I really do, I just don't write about that part because it's not very interesting. Haha. Okay, so on to my life...
This morning I slept in a little bit, then got up to finish up the final draft of my paper and finish up the reading for class. First we had English, which was fine, but for Arts of Oxford we did something kind of cool -- instead of actually having class, we went out into the college grounds and just found a place to sit. We sat totally still and quiet for about 45 minutes, then wrote a little about our reflections. It was really nice -- I forget how nice it is to just stop and sit. I'm the most programmed person there is. Oh..and my reflections...well, I'm basically a type-A hippie, and I came to all sorts of life conclusions based on staring at a fly. Haha.
Afterwards, we ventured out for lunch...okay, I found this Mexican place that I have been dying to try for like a week and a half, but it just never worked out. Well, I finally went. And it was amazing. I mean, definitely no Los Calientes, but almost exactly like Qdoba. Mmmm...I think one of my friends almost cried he was so happy to have a burrito. It was amazing. After lunch we split up to run some errands and whatnot, and I got my eyebrows waxed because they were driving me insane...and it was amazing, then headed back to the college.
For the afternoon, Sarah and I had a great adventure - the laundry adventure. At the school there are 2 washing machines and 2 dryers, and they are not very big or very good and you still have to pay to use them. And practically everyone in the program needed to do laundry. So we had the great idea to find a laundromat .. here it's a laundrette.. to get away from the crowds. Well, the closest one was quite far away, so we took the bus for the very first time -- Oxford is a very walkable city. Except not like 6 miles with huge bags of laundry. We managed to successfully navigate the bus, locate the laundrette, and get all of our laundry clean. It ended up being a bit more expensive than at the college, but it was totally worth it to get it all done and not have to worry -- and we got to see a totally new part of town that we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise -- so it was really cool.
After laundry, we headed back to the college for a rush of homework, dinner, showering, group meeting, more homework, getting ready, and finally going out. Since it was Monday, it was European night...which basically meant we wore heels for once, haha...but this time the GA Tech guys decided to do it too...which meant button down shirts almost completely unbuttoned, tight pants, and gelled up hair. Needless to say, it was awesome. We all hung out in the college pub for a while, then headed out to The Bridge, our favorite Monday night place, for a fun night of dancing and hanging out.
Monday nights are so much fun, it definitely makes starting the week a little easier.
I can't believe I'm in the last half of my stay here! I'm already sad about leaving!
