I MUSTACHE you a question

Another Friday night. Another night to recuperate from the previous day of essay writing and preparing for Friday's tutorial session. Really, I need to learn better time management skills (and actually put them to use, for once).

My tutor is growing a mustache. This is a huge problem, because now it is the only thing I am able to think about as he talks to me. At one point I was so focused on the mustache that I felt the need to scratch my own upper lip. This didn't go unnoticed by my professor, and it was at this point that he told me he was participating in "Movember" (the charity that raises awareness for prostate cancer). Soon we were able to get back on track with the lesson, but my notes didn't escape having little mustaches drawn all over them.

Walking to tutorial (daylight)

Ever since daylight savings, the sun has begun to set earlier and earlier. Today I arrived at the Pusey House for my tutorial about 30 minutes early and as I waited for my tutor, I sat beside the window and watched as the light disappeared from the sky. This was at 4pm and by the time my tutor arrived (4:30), the sun had almost completely set. When I left my tutorial an hour later, the outside looked like it should really be close to bedtime.

Leaving from tutorial (nighttime)

Usually Friday is Cameron's night to cook dinner. For the last three Fridays we have had pasta, chicken, and peas. This is the only thing (other than pb&j or pancakes) that he knows how to cook and I realized tonight as I walked home in the dark after my tutorial that I've come to really enjoy this tradition. However tonight he had plans and instead left Britney and I money to compensate for the lack of FUSILI FRIDAY. We used the money to order in Indian food. Both of us were in our "comfy clothes" and had no desire to go back into town after a long day of writing and tutorials.

Plus, we decided that we needed to rest for our trip tomorrow to BATH. Yesterday I went to the train station and inquired about a day return ticket for Bath. The man told me that if I was traveling alone the ticket was 17 pounds, but if in a group of three or more the ticket would be 11 pounds. So tomorrow Britney, Adrie, and I are traveling together for a "girls day."

Last night was another debate night at the Union and the topic was one I thought would be very interesting to sit in on: "This house believes in God." Like the past Thursdays, our group left the flat in plenty of time to get to the debate and get seats. However last night when we arrived at the Union, there was a line all the way from the debate chamber to the gate. Slowly we inched our way to the front of the line but after a group about four places in front of us were let in, the man at the door told us the chamber was full and no one else would be allowed in for the night. Not only was the chamber completely full, there was now an even bigger line of students behind us. You might have thought that we were getting turned away from a club, but no, here in Oxford they have to have bouncers standing outside of debate chambers. I guess this debate was one of interest to all of the Union members, not just me.

"What should we do now?" someone asked. "LET'S STUDY!" said not me. We went to get a pint at The Grapes down the street.
