Living today

Hello!
Today I went to the Anglican service in the Christ Church Cathedral. There was an American woman helping with the service. It was pretty awesome, just not what I was expecting in an Anglican church in Oxford. I forget that Anglicans are not sexist.
We went to lunch at EAT. There were pomegranates in my fruit cup! They have these little places where you can get a sandwich in a box for pretty cheap, like Pret A Manger, and it's surprisingly delicious.


I then went shopping, got a little black dress and a fun red dress with buttons. I tried on my dresses in the men's room because there were not enough women's rooms.
Then I got freesias for two pounds on the street. I talked with the guy who was selling them for a while. Apparently, most florists in England get their flowers from Holland, so it's fairly legit. He has always wanted to go to America and likes skyscrapers more than castles. I begged to differ. Darren is about 40ish or something, and he gave me a kiss on the cheek as he shook my hand. Question: is that socially norm for England? I thought that was a French or Spanish thing, but I hadn't encountered that here yet.
When I got back to the porter's lounge to ask for some laundry detergent, I ended up talking to the Porter's for a while. They were shocked that I had gone to Wales and had just gone to the Dr. Who exhibit. The idea of Baylor confounded them, they wondered if we would go around trying to convert them. I assured that I wouldn't, but who knows if someone on the trip approached them. One of the guys asked names so he could find them and have a good argument.
I then headed back to my room, studied, practiced, and had lots of tea.
Dinner was quite nice. I got to sit next to Mrs. Dr. Hanks. We talked about how she has gone through multiple careers, and each experience compounded. So, I don't have to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life right now. :) I like that.
There is a new group on campus, and they are all clergy with clerical collars. They took up two big tables, so I'm sure that I'll get to have lots of fun conversations at breakfast!
I got back, and we group studied in Becca's room for the midterm, and then I got to videochat with Daniel.
It has been quite a lovely Sunday. No pictures today. I've just been living for the day, no touring.
