Last night Sam and I went to one of his formal dinners which was fun. Made more fun by the fact that because they had allocated seating for one less then was there we got to sit on the High Table. Very amusing. Being an anonymous person, it was fun to pretend that somehow I was some crazy academic fellow. Intrigue and mystery.
We then went back to the common room where all the MCR students hang out and hit the bar up. Sweet deal! Most drinks under £1. Um...Awesome. Had a really good time gossiping with the girls. Gender definietly transcends oceans! Bit tipsy but home by middnight just like Cinderella.
This morning we intended to go to Blenheim Palace where Churchill grew up but the weather was a bit off and the Palace was closed andonly the grounds open. So instead we wandered around a few colleges. Worcester was very impressive and then we wandered through Oxford Park and sat on a bench and attempted to read the paper in the 'crisp' yet 'sunny' weather.
We headed to lunch with 4 of Sam's friends that were all from Australia. We had lunch at Exetor College. Memories of Eurest come haunting back. But bulk food is always better when you don't have to eat it every day. Was good to eat. Looked around the grounds which were cool as it overlooks Radcliff Square.
This afternoon I headed to thh gym with one of Sam's friends Holly who is just lovely! and I have just had a bath and chilled out since. Heading out to a Bop tonight with a Pink theme.Not sure how well I will be able to satisfy the theme... but nice people will be there. Have had a wonderful time here in Oxford. Beautiful town with a small town feel.
