Georgetown Invasion

Spring Break has arrived...which is very evident with the slew of Georgetowners who have invaded Oxford. This week our friends Bobbie Jo, Matt, Ryan and Jessi have come to visit us...sadly I'm the only loser without a friend coming especially for me...and Ryan must be really cool because he has two friends visiting him!! (Ryan and Matt)

It has been great to see friends from home. It really brings out the differences I have forgotten between here and home- Ryan, for example is just a really friendly guy. He never meets a stranger....yet he has received strange looks from the Regent's student when he just walks up and says hello...We explain to him that here in Oxford, people don't do that unless you have been introduced or something. Otherwise they pretty much ignore you or think you are a weird person....

The last few days have been nice to just relax and enjoy living here a little- however, without any structure to my day I'm finding it hard to remember what I've even done the last few days!!

Friday was lazy....I did receive my lost Bodleian Card (which gives me access to libraries) in the mail. It had fallen out of my pocket when I was riding my bike about two weeks ago. I have already had it replaced, so I suppose now I will just have a spare! Spares are good as long as you remember where you put them. Unfortunately, when I got to Regent's my bike key was no longer on my key chain.....and now I'm not sure where I left the spare. So that is sad, but I expect it will radomly turn up sometime....I hope

During the afternoon I had a field trip with the other political science students of Regents to theUniversity Museum! They have an exhibit in the Pitt Rivers museum of shrunken heads from South America. They may be removed soon so our studies coordinator, Suke, decided it would be good for us to see them.

I did the New Testament reading for Chapel friday night. We concluded our lecture series of Sacred Spaces with the thoughts of Calvary...and how even the worst of places become holy through Jesus- even the places within us.

Friday night was formal hall followed by good times in the JCR. We took the visiting Georgetown boys to Eagle and Child to share our CS Lewis love with them....well, I think we chose it more because its right around the corner from Regents.

This blog seems to have been more of a listing of event rather than great reflection. I think my mind is on a break. Spring Break. Yes.
