pub quiz

Today was so dark and drab, it poured rain. I felt bad because there was a wedding in the chapel across from the college, but really, who gets married at 4:00 on a Tuesday?? This morning I had my first real tutorial. My professor and I spent over an hour discussing "Pride and Prejudice." She even said I was clever, my Oxford don thinks I'm clever!! Anyway, it was very interesting and for my first essay I have to write about how location (i.e. - the estates) are used and why. Sounds good to me. So came back to the house and watched "Emma" (to supplement my reading of course.) Then headed to the library for more research, where I was trapped until the rain slowed down. Tonight, my roommates Sophie and Amanda, David, and a new kid named Pierre went out for dinner, then to the Eagle and Child for Pub Quiz. The Eagle and Child is supposedly where CS Lewis and JRR Tolkein used to go. Pub Quiz is where you form teams, and they ask 25 questions. You write down answers on a sheet of paper, and whoever wins gets some money or something. It's fun, but takes over 2 hours and we didn't win. So afterwards we went out for ice cream, the real kind not that ultra-sweet, frozen whipped cream stuff. Then everyone came back here for a little. And now all my housemates are in bed and the computer is finally free. So I'm off to catch up on my emails!
