This last Monday (March 1st) I went to Cambridge to attend a formal dinner. Blaine, a friend of our family, is studying there and invited me up for the evening.
It was so awesome. It felt like it was straight out of Harry Potter or Pride and Prejudice. Picture long candlelit tables with benches in a grand hall decorated with massive portraits of important-looking dead people... And alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol.
Which was a good thing, until the next morning came and I had to catch my 10am train.
Cambridge is a lovely town with some of the most beautiful architecture I have ever seen. I would be happy to lose myself all day in the windy mess of ancient buildings and green courtyards. I actually thought for a second that I had traveled back in time. No really though. I was standing in the doorway of a courtyard surrounded by one of the old colleges on all four sides of me, when I looked up and noticed a man dressed in a 19th century outfit. My jaw dropped as he strode past me with an air of self importance. Much to my dismay, a turn around the next corner revealed a group of actors carrying set pieces from one end of the hall to another.
So long story short, I didn't actually travel back in time.
Anyways, I had a wonderful time exploring the town and meeting new people, and I am very excited to be going back for a few days over Easter Vacation.
The rest of this week I have been doing schoolwork. Now that the last few weeks are upon me I'm feeling much more motivated to get things done. Today has been a beautiful day. I'm in a pretty good mood too.
That's about all the update I have for now!
23 Days until Rome!
