Weekend Recap

Christmas festivities

21st birthday!

My life in the last few days via A LIST!

• Last Friday there was a Christmas light celebration. Several streets were closed, including St. Giles where booths with vendors lined the sidewalk and the rest of the road included a ferris wheel, carousel, and music stage. This was all outside the window of my tutorial in the Pusey House. Needless to say it was distracting. When I got done with my tutorial I bought a "mulled hot cider" from one of the vendors to take with me on my walk home. Tasted like the holidays!
• Saturday was rainy all day. The canal path that I normally take into town has flooded. Actually several parts of Oxford have flooded because there has been such an unusual amount of rain.
• Sunday was my 21st birthday. I celebrated to the best of my abilities being away from friends and family back home. I spent the day wandering around Oxford, occasionally stopping in shops and then grabbing a bite to eat for lunch at a cafe across from St. Peter's. Adrie made me a cake. Then she and I met Britney at The King's Arms for some drinks. 
• Today I bought my ticket to Scotland for next week. I leave Sunday and return back to Oxford on Thursday in time to get the rest of my bags and head for the airport and the fly to America. WUT?! SO SOON!
• Now I am writing my last paper for Professor Barry (my tutor for my Tolkien course). The only thing that's keeping me from getting too distracted is that I'm incorporating mentions of dragons into the paper. If Barry is wearing his chevron sweater tomorrow I might cry from cuteness overload.
