We had a very productive day today. We started off the day
at our normal wake up time around 7am for most of us and went to breakfast.
After breakfast we went to class which starts at 8:45 am. As you all know, we
have been reading King Lear, written by William Shakespeare. The assignment for
this unit was to write an essay, and the topic for this essay was given to us
today in class. We have to write our essays over two classes, which means all
in all we have about eight hours in total to write our King Lear essays.
After class and lunch we headed to the Ashmolean Museum in
Oxford, which is very similar to the ROM in Toronto. There was medieval
tapestry, dishes, beautiful paintings and so much more to see at the museum. It was a very cultural experience seeing all
the history involved in each spot of the museum.
We had free time after that, in which some of the girls got
their nails done and others went shopping. It was a beautiful market with many
little stores and food of all cultures. The markets name is Golden Cross
Shopping center. One of the most popular
attractions in the market is Ben’s Cookies. These cookies are delicious and
cost up to two pounds. The reputation of these cookies is that they are the
best in town. I have to agree with that statement; it was by far the best
cookie I have ever eaten in my life!
To conclude our busy day we went to see the very popular
musical Legally Blonde. Many of the girls can relate to this play. The boys
also enjoyed the play because of the humor and the music. For those of you how have
seen the movie or the play all know that there is a very attractive mail
delivery boy. Needless to say us girls have been ranting and raving about the
attractive male delivery boy in the musical, we have also been singing songs
and quoting the play all night!
I speak for the group when I say was are all having an
amazing time and appreciate all you sending us over here to have the time of
our lives and meet lots of new friends and amazing people. We have all become a close family and support
each other all the way. It will be hard to say goodbye to everyone in 13 days
when we return!
