last class

this is all from thursday i just forgot to publish it when i was done :o)

tonight we went to church for a college night they have. when we were leaving we decided to take the bus, but since this was our first time we so we had our last day of class for the week.. on thursday. which is fabulous not to have class on friday. i don't know why its so good but it just is. so that night we decided to go to st. aldatesdidnt really know which bus was the correct one and so we are at the bus stop and apparently unless you stick your hand out for the bus to stop, it wont. so once we got to the bus stop and stuck our hand out we got on the bus and we wanted a round trip ticket so we could come back on the bus- cause its cheaper then buying two singles. but if you dont ask at the beginning they tell you its too late and look at you really mean cause apparently its a huge hastle to change your ticket once he has already printed it up. so we ended up just trying not to make a scene or act like we were foreign. which didn't work out to well but oh well, we decided it was a nice evening to walk back.

so we got on the bus late and then got off early cause we didnt really know where the stops were. there is a street called high street that is a pedestrian street with shops and little restaurants. so since the church is right past this street we figured the buses wouldnt go over there. so we walk this street and then right when we cross the road about a quarter of a mile down the road a bus is dropping people off right in front of st. aldates. so that was kind of annoying but funny. after we got there it was a nice surprise to find out that they serve dinner. which was nice because it was our first real, hot, close to normal meal we had eaten in quite a while. during dinner we talked to some really nice people that went to oxford or brooks and got to trade questions so that was fun. oh and also-- for dessert we had these little ice cream bars which were amazing because they are store bought, but taste like nana's grasshopper pie. and thats one of my favorite desserts she makes, so that was exciting and totally unexpected.

during worship there were a lot of songs i didnt know or recognize but they were still good and it was good to see other kids, still my age, but across the globe worshipping the same God. it was a really good evening then after that we just walked around parts of the town we hadnt seen and tried to discover new little places. after grabbing a few groceries we headed back to the houses for a fun night of chatting playing games till all hours of the night
