June 4, 2016

On the second of June, I really cannot remember what I did. I had class in the morning. I had McDonalds for lunch and bought my books for class. I had HobNobs for the first time -- literally amazing. I had dinner with Dr. Snyder, because he is leaving Britain for the summer. We had authentic Chinese food, which included duck. I've never had duck before, but it was so so good. I really want to go back to that restaurant; it was so enjoyable. I also met MSU's Rhodes Scholar, Field Brown. We have very similar academic backgrounds at Mississippi State because we both study literature and have been in the same academic societies and clubs. It was a really relaxed evening and we got back quite late. Good thing I didn't have class the next day. 

On the third of June, I slept in and went out for a bit. It's been quite chilly here in Oxford so leaving the house requires bundling up. Then again, lounging at home requires sweat pants and multiple pairs of socks. I bought another of my books and then retreated back home. I've been trying to read my first Hemingway novel, A Farewell to Arms but I sadly didn't start it until the fourth of June. 

Today, the fourth of June, I went out to see the Jungle Book. It was a modern dance adaptation in which the jungle was the urban jungle. It was really neat, mainly an audience of children or elderly people. It was really good though; the dancers/actors were extremely impressive. I really enjoyed the show. Overall, it's been a pretty chilled last few days, as weekends usually are. Tomorrow, the sun is supposed to make a reappearance -- I pray it does -- and I want to go explore the university parks. Sorry I haven't done too much these past few days, but when you are living somewhere for a good bit, it's hard to do something everyday. Especially when you have school work breathing down your neck.

catch you later,
