Sorry... long time no post

I've been a bit busy and havent posted so here is a quick rundown of what I have been doing.

Wednesday- I swore that I would not kindle and open flame in the Bodlian library... then drooled over the books. Came back here, had lunch then went on a walking tour of Oxford... that was fun ish... I took pictures. I came back here and immediately got on a bus for Stratford where we watched some swans do water balet , visited Shakespeare's birthplace, and saw a play by John Fletcher. Very funny play. we came home and went to sleep.

Thursday- Did some work in the morning, went to lunch with President Hoyt, his wife, the Reverend Dean Doctor Bryon Grigsby, and everyone from Centenary. Rachel chickened out and left before we went punting... we went punting. It was fun but I felt bad for Bryon and Jerry who had to pole the boats. We came back, I did some more work and then we went out to buy Jerry a drink for not tipping us into the drink.

Friday- Did way more work than I have been doing. Bought a jacket, went to the Turf Tavern for dinner (it dates to the 12th century) with Bryon, Jess, Rachel, and Kathy and had Fish and Chips. We continued on to the Kings Arms pub and The Crown and when the pubs closed we went to O'Neils and met up with Jerry and then we all closed O'Neils. We came back to St. Peters and sat outside. I took pictures of that too but they haven't made it online yet. Somewhere Rachel aquired two pub glasses and they ended up in Jess's bag. We went to bed at one thirty.

Saturday- The sun woke me up at 5:30. I told it to go to hell and it woke me up again at 7. Today I plan to finish up my papers and do some stuff around oxford, do laundry, write some postcards and then Bryon wants to go out again before he leaves for Leeds Sunday morning.


I am having a blast and wish all of you were here.
