Hi! This is Emily's stream-of-consciousness, slightly-drunk-still, last post from Oxford.
I may regret this tomorrow. But I'm finding I can type surprisingly well--despite the number of tries it took me to write 'f aigoltz|more' and try to harass poor banannagoats some more. Finding telnet on the JCR computers made my day yesterday--too bad it had to wait until 48 hours before we left.
Tutors' dinner tonight was great. Fabulous. My knee just popped ridiculously loudly. Anyway...I sat with the printmaking tutor and her husband. Husband and I talked about theatre productions--Shakespeare and Chekov, and PS, he'd heard of Jacques Brel, tho' not the musical--almost the entire time, with a slight digression into politics (naturally) and brief discussion of 'Girl With A Pearl Earring' ('pretty film--yes, quite. got a bit wrong, though').
Dinner was followed by post-dinner entertainment, consisting of ASE alum singing (rather badly, and sadly), and current ASE tutor telling long, pointless story before playing pretty guitar pop-song medley. [Digression: wanted to read 'Amazing Race' recaps, and catch up--because I am that sad--but reading is officially too much work--not quite sobered up yet. Just wanted to share.]
( In which she is Not Impressed with the vocalist )
( In which she explains this post, and notes how embarrassed she'll be tomorrow )
Um. GIP! Yaaayyy kilts! Edited to add: a happy belated Mountain Day to the MoHos, and happy one-month-in-England anniversary to me. Whee!
