Fresher

You know how in Harry Potter they are always sitting at those long oak tables by candlelight wearing their black gowns while all the masters and professors sit at one huge table at the front leading everybody in prayer or subjecting them to speeches? I DID THAT LAST NIGHT. Only first I was required to dress "smart," i.e. cocktail attire, and meet my tutors over drinks. I had some pretty chummy convos with my tutors over a three course meal (Omgsh, and it was SO GOOD. I'm really restraining myself from writing out the whole menu right now). Everyone looks like a wizard in their commoner's gown- I'm pretty sure I should be studying Potions instead of Dickens and Charms in place of Wilde.

This is just a very short post. Apologies. I lost steam halfway.

Oh, I also got a free Blackwell's mug! And I'm thinking of investing in a bike. They've all got bikes here. It's sort of a thing. And our tutor meetings are actually very far away from where we live on campus.

  1. Okay, okay- only because you ASKED:

    First: tomoto and mozzarello salad with pesto
    Second: mushroom risotto (for me- everyone else had quail or something)
    Third: stawberries with sugar and panna cotta

    Also, as much red or white wine as you could possibly want :)
