SUNday

As I walked out of my room this morning, I was shocked at how bright the sun was as it poured through the windows. I immediately regretted my decision to sleep until 11 AM since I now only had about 5 hours of sunlight to enjoy.

Claire and I decided to go ahead and eat lunch instead of breakfast. We pulled our chicken slices and cheese from the refrigerator, but decided that cold sandwiches were simply too boring. So, I found a skillet, heated it up then cooked the chicken. I folded three slices next to each other then place a piece of cheese on top then another slice of chicken on top of the cheese. Then I flipped the entire pile over and cooked it until the cheese melted. Claire toasted the bread and I chopped some lettuce. We heated some Minestrone soup and chopped an apple then enjoyed a huge and delicious meal. After cleaning the kitchen, we strolled outside with some of the guys. We stopped at North Parade where we took many pictures. It's such a quaint little street.

After some of the guys bought hot sandwiches from on the hoof, we walked into town. It did not take long for Claire and I to grow tired of the boys and soon we were shopping, shopping, shopping for the rest of the afternoon. I bought a pair of jeans, a scarf, and a pair of boots. I had a lot of fun and might have spent too much money, but I figured that I'm only in Oxford once so I didn't feel as bad. We stopped at Sainsbury's for some apple juice. Let me tell you: the apple juice here is the absolute BEST! We bought three cartons!

Back home, it was time to cook dinner: Fiesta Soup! Since I had to improvise several ingredients, I was very worried that it would not taste very good; however, it was not too bad--not as good as when it has the correct ingredients, but still quite tasty. After cleaning the kitchen we headed to house 9 to try to watch the Cowboys game. I just uploaded pictures and updated this blog the whole time, but at least I was socializing!

It was a beautiful day filled with food and fun--can't be beat!
