Day Seventeen

Today was one of the best yet in Oxford.
I spent most of the morning in the library finishing up my paper. It ended up being a whopping nine pages and was combined with my other assignment, giving a total of 14 pages. She already sent me feedback on the paper and said the writing was excellent. I did spent quite a bit of time working on that and actually enjoyed it, for the most part.
We got another baguette from Sainsbury's, spending a whole 20 pence a piece, and had lunch again at my host's home. The wind was strong and it was way too cold to eat outside. I still had chocolate mousse leftover (I bought it a few days ago...a four pack for 34 pence...what a steal!) and some jaffa cakes (cookies with chocolate and jam). We dunked our bread in humous and ate it with cheese. I could eat that for like two weeks straight. Between the three of us, we polished off a 2 foot long baguette...not bad.
The afternoon was spent checking out more colleges. Amy, April, and I walked all the way up to Summertown, about a 45 minute walk. We saw new parts of Oxford, including the Oxford University Press, and walked around I think five colleges. Keble College was by far the best. Amazing! Of course, my camera chose at that point to run out of batteries. We're closer to our goal now of seeing all the colleges. On our way back, Amy and I snuck in after some students into Wadham College and walked around. It was a lot of fun.
Tonight the girls are coming to our house to finish up Pride and Prejudice. It only took us three times of meeting to get all five hours in. My family is gone for the weekend so we have the house all to ourselves until Sunday night. Party!! Unfortunately, we won't be here for most of it.
I'm currently cooking dinner in the oven. She had everything ready. I just had to cook it all. We're having southern fried chicken, chips (fries), corn on the cob, and pudding with meringues and bananas for dessert...mmm. I'm always so hungry for dinner. I'm afraid I'm going to gain 20 pounds when I come back to the States if my appetite continues. Better go check the chicken again.
Oh, I'll be back in town Thursday morning and leave again on Sunday to start back at Taylor. So if you want to see pictures, I'll try and bring some Sunday morning.
