Week 4:
Week 4 was definitely the most stressful to date because of finals. I had a final paper due on Friday, along with 2 final exams on Friday. Yay...Unfortunately the week days were rather uneventful because I was studying a ton (and taking breaks to watch Arrested Development =D). On Tuesday night I went to a formal hall at Pembroke College and we ate dinner in the Old Library, so that was neat. For our last Varieties of English lecture, it was really neat because we had our lecture in the evening on the bank of the River Cam (which our professor called King's Beach). It was a beautiful view, with the river right in front of us and King's College directly behind it. There's a cow pasture right behind the college and our professor and the guest speaker were lecturing from inside the pasture and would look back occasionally to make sure the cows weren't getting to close, so that was pretty funny! On Friday after exams, PKP planned a Bop, which is the British term for a dance. The dress code was "fancy dress," which is what Brits call a costume party, with the theme being "Cool Britannica." Unfortunately I was cheap and lame and didn't dress up, but still had a fun time even though we got very lost trying to find the location (it was called "Hidden Rooms," and it was mostly because no one looked at the map before we left, not that it was really that hidden).
On Saturday I went with friends to Oxford and that was really fun. One of the girls in the group studied abroad for a whole year at Oxford, so it was nice having someone knowledgeable in our group and I learned a lot of cool facts. Did you know they have a whole college building just for taking exams? Crazy, I think! Unfortunately we couldn't really go into any of the colleges because they were all having graduation that day (poor timing, but who knew?). Sunday was a relaxation/do my final essay for my Business class day (which isn't really all that relaxing). Thankfully, it's almost done as of now, so I'm very happy about that.
