Christ Church, Formal Dinner, and Pubs

I met my minor tutor today. He is so adorable. He's so soft-spoken and seems like a typical Oxford professor. He's really awkward, but it’s kind of cute, for now. He’d rather teach in his office, but I don't mind. Oriel College is really close by. Here I am at the entrance!

I've pretty much accepted the fact that everyone here probably thinks I'm a dumbass. This is good because now I will just do my work, ask questions, and not be nervous about looking like an idiot, since I’ve already accepted it. Haha. I'm still the most amazing person in the world though. So don't think I'm doubting myself. Hahaha.

After class, I took pictures of Oriel College and walked by Christ Church College. I wasn't expecting to get into Christ Church College because they charge you more money to see Christ Church than other of the other colleges. I really wanted to see Christ Church from the inside because there were scenes from the Harry Potter movies that were shot in the college. Luckily for us (Jaquie and I), a guard thought we were "beautiful" and let us in for free from the back entrance. It’s probably because we're Asian and "exotic". Creepy, but hey, it was free. I don't need self-respect in England. Hahaha.

Here's a badly taken picture of me at Christ Church College!

Tonight was the Seminar's first formal dinner. We all got dolled up and met up in the courtyard for Pims. Its basically fruity alcohol. I had three glasses and was then met by my minor tutor. I hope I didn't make a complete fool out of myself because I was definitely a bit dizzy and happy. (I didn't know that Pims had 20% alcohol. Hahaha.) Dinner was not too bad. After that most of us went downstairs to the beer cellar. Yeah, it’s pretty badass. Trinity has a beer cellar so that students will get trashed in the college instead of outside. Haha. We threw some darts, and I have to say, I'm not too bad at it :), and just chilled.

When the cellar closed at 11, Naveen, Jaquie, Marc and I left for a pub and met up Caitlin. Why not, right?! Class is cancelled for tomorrow, anyways! We walked to the King's Arms and when that closed at midnight, we moved to The Half Moon. All I'm going to say about that is "A Midsummer's Night Dream" cast advertising their performance drunk, peeing in the bushes of religious property, 19 year old local gardener-to-be, Hurricane Katrina, slaves, McCain, almost getting kicked out of the Half Moon for being too loud, and McDonalds. Hahaha. Oh! And we met Jack Sparrow at the Half Moon!

I just love all this excitement!



NOO! I just dropped my cheeseburger on my laptop. :(
