Skype me Wednesday....it may be the last time you see me

Mail from my sister!!
Also here's my address for anyone else who wants to write me *hint *hint
I got tired last night before I could post this, so I present to you for your reading pleasure--yesterday in Oxford. 

This morning I went to Old Testament, and then after class I went to On the Hoof where I ate a cajun chicken sandwich on a baguette. After lunch I had to go to core class, and then work on homework. We had 9@9 (our weekly worship service together as a group in the house), and they did a really good job with it. We went to stations around the houses and planted plants, took communion, and lit candles, and other stuff. My group of Paris traveling buddies all met afterwards and planned out what we want to do when we're there. Look up reviews for the Friends Hostel in Paris. Since we are only paying 20 bucks a night, we inadvertently booked the sketchiest hostel in continental Europe. I'd say that the chances of one of us waking up in a bathtub of ice missing a kidney is probably 68%. Again, let's all just plan on Skyping Wednesday because I may not make it back from the hostel in one piece. Fortunately, the Study Abroad office so nicely informed us that our travel insurance does cover the shipping back of our remains. How sweet! Regardless, Paris is going to be a wonderful trip, and my wonderful night was concluded by watching Good Will Hunting with the group and eating chips with chicken curry. Ooh baby!

Back to the present. Today I went up to Summertown, which is a part of town that has lots of cool charity and thrift stores. I found something pretty and breakable for Krista (I wonder if you can guess what that might be) and something musical and British for the Mickle. I also got a lovely postcard and letter from my beautiful sister. It made my day!

  2. Good luck bringing back the teacup! :) I recommend putting it in a box, and filling in the box with something soft that you also need to bring back, like as the Brits would say, "pants". :)
