I think we have worn out our welcome because jolly ole England has reverted back to its ways of cold, rainy days intermitten with windy gray skies. AND aparently £5 does not buy you a reliable umbrella becuase my brand new tartan one has gone off and broken itself. All is prefectly lovely though since I have been stuck in the library for the past couple of days writing papers for my tutorials. By Friday morning, I will have written 20 pages and made a presentation on Agenda Setting. Bloody Bollucks!
Oh well, back to the fun stuff...
A couple of nights ago, we went out and met some lovely british lads who introduced us to the club scene in Oxford. (seems like a bit of an oxymoron, doesn't it?) Well, we went and we danced, and danced, and danced. They loved us too. I don't know what it is but the young people here adore Americans. Everyone we meet is all "How do they do this in America?" and "Do you do that is America?" They are also really impressed by our dance skills...It definitely provides a well-needed ego boost after the strenuous discussion (or should I say, interrogation) that takes place in tutorials.
Last night, we had our second High Table dinner. Unfortunately, becuase of the rain, the pre-dinner drinks and mingling party had to take place inside. The food, of course, was amazing again. Chicken and chorizo ceasar salad with sirloin with boulanaise (SP?) sauce. Yummy! The surprise, however, came with the dessert: Pavlova. I am not a fan. It reminded me of stale easter candy mixed with lucky charms. And there was this awful goopy stuff in the middle. Not for me.
Well, back to studying. Does anyone know anything useful about the prophets?

Allie,
I am feeling major bad Mom guilt for not getting you a rain slicker! YIKES. Go find one, preferably not Burbary though. Sounds like the dancing is good, even if the dessert lacks. Keep up the good foreign policy.........Mom
Allie,
It sounds like your southern belles are a hit. I love reading your descriptions of all the historic places you have visited. This is such a phenomenal experience for you. We are so proud! Love, Auntie Linda
Allie, Thanks for the food descriptions...I'm so sorry you didn't like the pavlovas. I don't like the cookie part but I love the cream!!!!
It sure sounds fun.
Prophets....that's a large topic..LOL
Love you, XOXO...Aunt Wendy
