Hanging With My (New) Hommies!

Although in the past I have met wonderful people during the summer sessions, Oxford is the campus that lends itself most to forging meaningful friendships. It might be because the array of activities we can do together or the flexibility in our schedules, nevertheless I have met people I hope to keep in touch from here on, two of which are Chelsea and Nichole.

Chelsea took this picture (to the left) one night the two of us signed out for dinner and headed out for a night in the town. She was embarrassed that I was being a tourist in the midst of cool natives!

The picture on the right was taken at the Watermill Playhouse, where we went with the entire school to watch "the Taming of the Shrewd" played by an all-male cast. One of the highlights of the play was seeing a couple of actors in sexy thongs! A low light was being on the bus that broke down for a couple of hours. We did not make it back to Lincoln College until midnight.


The picture on the left was timed. It took place after the second high-table dinner, when the three of us decided to watch a modern rendition of "The Importance of Being Earnest" but ended up talking all night and polishing off two bottles of wine in Chelsea's room. It was soooo much fun!


And last but not least is a picture of me leaving the Bodleian one afternoon. It was the first day we had perfect sunny weather. One thing about Oxford is that it is very hard to stay inside and study when its nice outside, harder than in Juneau and Vermont!
