I have just finished week three of my lovely stay here at Oxford. I am so ready for the school work to be over so I can just enjoy the scenery! In fact, yesterday, I blew off all my work so I could sit on the lawn in the sun. Take that, tutorial!
For all my foodies out there, you know who you are, I would like to take this opportunity to brag. This sunday, me and some friends had a lovely leisurly lunch at a fabulous Italian restuarant called Jaime's Italian. That's right, I went to Jaime Oliver's restuarant right here in Oxford. You can be jealous if you want to...
Monday again was High Table dinner. Before the dinner, one of the most reverred Tutors came to speak to us about the "oddities," as he called it, of Keble College. He went over the history and development, which was all well and good. He then alluded to the college's social life. Lets just say they work hard but play harder.
The food at dinner was fabulous, as usual. I have yet to be invited to dine with the Dons but I feel it coming. Next week will be my time to shine....and to partake in the endless wine! Oxford is turning me into a poet...and I didn't even know-it! (I'm sorry, lack of sleep. Excuse the lameness.)
More next week, after I travel the world some more!

Allie, I am so excited that I beat your Mom and am first to give comments!!!
Jamie Oliver's restaurant.....WHAT DID YOU EAT? You mention all these wonderful dinners... please describe the food.
I hear you are going to Ireland, I can't wait to hear about it.
XOXO Aunt Wendy
I love Jamie Oliver! He has the BEST commentary ever on food. Love his expressions and the fact that he cooks outside on his show! More descriptions of that please and have a great time in Dublin. You can use the Grindell name while you are there, we are probably famous in Dublin, or somewhere in Ireland..............Mom
I just read through your entire blog and laughed out loud. You are quite a writer. I want you to keep traveling and writing so I can live vicariously through your adventures!! You have a way with words and a unique perspective that I really enjoy.
I love Jamie Oliver too- he called the naked chef you know. Let us know if he lives up to that moniker!
Love you and keep writing. This way I may feel like I've been to England too with less expenses!
