I Got Stoned Today...

Things have been so crazy lately.  Everyone's trying to do everything the last week here.  It's been nonstop amazing times.  I'm so sleep deprived, but I don't care.  I need to pack everything I own, do all my readings, and write an essay tomorrow, but I don't care.  This has been one wild ride and I am so incredibly grateful that I've gotten to experience all of this with so many wonderful people.

Highlights of this past week:

Thursday was the "end of term" boat party.  It rained like mad, but we all had a ball anyway.  (Ruined my hair!!)  So much fun.



Yesterday was Ethan's 21st, so we all went to a "bop" at Christ Church.  Which is basically the English way of saying "Lets put a little stage on one end of the JCR, and a little bar on the other end, and play some funky tunes."  The theme was things that used to be cool.  So we all had to raid our carefully planned limited clothing for stuff we actually didn't like.  A little challenging.  Anyway, it was fun.  I ended up bartending for part of it.  Dropped a 2 liter of pop and sprayed the crowd when I opened it.  They loved it.

Then today I went to Stonehenge and Bath.  Oh the puns we came up with when we realized we drove an hour to look at a bunch of rocks from 30 feet away.  Ridiculous and amazing at the same time.  I guess you could say we "became one" with the stones.
 



Bath is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.  The country literally pays its residents to keep up the housing.  It's considered a national treasure-  like, the ENTIRE city.  Of course, it's most famous for it's ancient Roman baths.  And no, you're not allowed to touch the water.  And yes, I did anyway.


There's an abbey right next to the baths, and it had the most incredible stained glass windows I've ever seen.  They were HUGE!



More pictures to come, but I don't have time to post more than this for now.  I'm sorry if I have been ignoring anybody's e'mails, things have just been so insane.  Once things slow down (in a week or two...)  I promise I'll make it up to you!
