It's already November.. woaaoaoao.

:D photos are on faceyb. here are a few though:






I'm the worst blogger ever, but I literally find myself with no free time whatsoever.

Turned in the best paper of the term so far yesterday; I had lots of fun writing it too:)

The title started out as: Tristan is a Liar, Iseut is a Whore, but they both are still ballers. I realized this probably would be frowned upon in an academic paper, so I changed it to Tristan and Iseut: Morally Adulterous. Great fun. The paper is about adultery, hunchbacked dwarves, lustful lepers, and amazing plot twists. Oh, how I adore medieval French romance poetry!

When I'm not slaving away in the library, I am wandering the lovely city of Oxford, strolling in the deer park, drinking coffee by the gallon, waking up at the crack of dawn to row, or going out to various pubs/clubs/and social events. Oh, and I go to class sometimes too.

Tomorrow is Guy Fawkes day: remember, remember, the 5th of November! Bonfires, fireworks, burning effigies- what fun! Also, I'm going to a ball... nbd. An actual ball. Yay!

Food here is pretty awful. They don't believe in using flavor of any sort, and Mexican food is just unheard of. I am sooooo missing Mexican food. I'm eating loads and loads of hummus still though...

Yesterday, Frances and I went to a wine tasting shindig; sooo much fun. I learned about tannin and legs and heaviness, etc... 1.5 hours of wine drinking though, starting at 5 PM, leads to a bit of a struggle for the rest of the night. Haha. SO fun though:)

The weather here has been dreary, but we're surviving. It's pretty cozy though; lots of movie nights and big fluffy jackets. And it fits the buildings- everything is mysterious and spooky and awesome.

HARRY POTTER COMES OUT SOON! We're going to see it in Laaaahndaaaan the day it comes out. CANT WAIT.
