19.4.05 april

only 2 more days left of our time here at this lovely town of oxford. we have exhausted our list of things to see and do or oxford to what i need to study and when can i get my laundry doen? i know i'm gung-ho about buying film here from english speaking people - however - i know i would get a better deal with the dollar in france. i also need to hit the internet and get some info on switzerland for my bus tour presentation. maybe i can do that tomorrow, plus study, do laundry and pack. wednesday is test day and thursday 6:30 am, our bus leaves for the white cliffs of dover and by supper we will be in paris (par-ie!) which as they say in 'anastasia' paree holds the key to your hear - with some oo la lalas.

tonight, kent, louise, andy b, dennis and jen h. and i went to the eagle and child for a small part of our assignment overseas: we had to each read a part of our journal to louise so she knew we were keeping one. it was quite interesting to hear others journals and their styles of journal writing. some had short entries, others long, some more detail than others, some more thoughtful. i read my part of my first trip to london. i think that's what my travel essay will be on. then we had fun talking while we sat in the cozy atmosphere. dennis told us how he had a FREE RIDE SCHOLARSHIP TO STANFORD FOR SWIMMING. we all gasp at the fact he gave it up - for love. i am completly jealous. he could have swam int he olympics and with natalie coughlin and i think the kirk sisters go there. amazing. it was great fun. we finished it off with a trip to houssains (more "big smiles!" haha) as, let's face it, supper really wasn't all that great. then we had a cold walk home - and now - to sleep!
