Seriously, I could do with one day more weekend.

On Friday I went to the Guest Dinner at New College together with Anna and Marc. It was really stylish, with candles as the only lights in the Hall, massive silverware on the table and of course wine and table service. You really get pampered here. ^^'
First course was mussels in saffron sauce, not really my taste but I tried them anyway. I ate two of five mussels, then my stomach quite rolled over and I gave the rest to the guy opposite of me. But the main course was delicious, sirloin beef with Dijon mustard, caramelised potatoes and courgettes. Then dark chocolate truffle tart and coffee as dessert, and the evening was complete.
After the dinner we went into the MCR for a few drinks but as they were quite expensive and the music wasn't too hot either, we called it a night at around 1 a.m.

Yesterday I skipped floorball training because of my still upset stomach. I guess the second mussel wasn't too agreeable after all... So I just went for a walk through the city, enjoying the golden October weather, and tried to get some work done (not really successfully).
In the evening I met with Mari, a Finnish girl I first met at the orientation programme for international students in 0th week.
That was a great night, we managed to tour three pubs, The White Horse, The Turl Tavern and Mertons Bar (very good cocktails!), were we got swept out with the sawdust at close to 2 a.m.
I've never been happier about the ending of summertime, meaning the clock being switched back for an hour and giving me one hour more sleep. ^^'

But it was so great talking to Mari, as we are closer in age than the undergraduates, and so we covered nearly everything from contemporary politics, literary theory (she studies Russian literature), TV shows, movies and I don't even know anymore.

Today I won't do much.
I still have to read stuff for my next essay (who would have guessed that), and I'm still waiting for an available washing machine to do my laundry. Nothing too exciting for me today, please!
