Hermione Granger, beautiful parks, Disney movie marathons---yeah, Oxford actually is that great

Our new hawk friend

Last night I breathed the same air that Emma Watson breathed. Back story: We found out from a friend that  she was drinking cocktails with Emma Watson at a place called the house. As soon as I found this out, I booked it out the door and raced to where she was. To my ultimate dipair, we must have barely missed her. As I mentioned before, I must have inhaled air that was just recently exhaled by Hermione Granger. Yes, I do realize that's really creepy, but I'm not above stalking. It's gonna happen.

Me and Jodi at J.R.R. Tolkien's park bench

Today I went on a ramble for Walking For Fitness in the University Parks with Kait, Jodi, and Audrey. We walked around for 2 hours almost in the many acres of beautiful nature there. While we were walking, we saw a guy holding a red tailed hawk, and we went over to talk to him. He talked to us for a long time about his awesome bird, Scott, that he's had for 12 years. There was a great bridge we crossed over and saw a pair of surprisingly giant swans. We even got to see the bridge where J.R.R. Tolkien wrote while he was in the park, and I can see why--it's such a gorgeous, inspiring place!! When we got back, I went to On The Hoof and I ate "The Cole Bennett" named after our friend and professor. Apparently, when Cole was teaching in Oxford, he always got the same sandwich (pesto chicken, cheese, and cranberry sauce toasted on a baguette). It's delicious. When we came back from shopping in the afternoon, we watched Anastasia, and now we are currently watching The Lion King because Stacy has never seen it! Whaat??!!! Yes, that was my reaction too.
