S&theGP in SCOTLAND

A WEEKEND IN OXFORD; copied and pasted from email to Evan:

OXFORD, MOFOS

scottish-ness is going well. This past weekend I went down to OXFORD to go see my dear Alicat and so that was really chill. We have this thing called reading week that happens at midterm, and it’s just like a week of doing work with no classes. Everyone from dartmouth finished their work relatively early so that we could go on adventures. My adventure was to travel on a night bus 8 hours to get to london, and then take a bus from london to oxford, and hangout with ali. I get so nervous while traveling that it was really tough, but I did it! I made all of my connections and didn’t get mugged or stabbed or beaten. Whilst in Oxford, Ali and I saw a play that was ridiculous, I made dinner for her (ricotta gnocchi), and I SAW EMMA WATSON! They go to the same college, so it wasn’t so surprising that she was there, but chill nonetheless.

we also made halloween cupcakes that were soooo good. like maja good. salted chocolate peanut butter filled cuppies. so good. then we hung out with these freshers (their word for freshman) until like 3 am and it was funny for me because it was the longest period of time I’ve spent with students from the UK since arriving. The Dartmouth bubble extends across the atlantic, donchaknow? I CAN NEVER BE SURE WITH THESE THINGS. The next day, I took the oxford tube back to London and hung out with Mia’s favorite girl, Rachel Sands for a couple hours before my bus left. She told me that she saw the note that Mia left on Mojo’s door before Mojo did and so she took it off. Mia and her hate each other lmao.

First time our cupcakes looked good AND tasted good

It was just really chill and I was really proud of myself for being brave and going on a trip by myself. pushing myself to the limit, you know how I do! In celebration, I’ve been listening to a lot of Kanye cause he’s been rocking that dynasty sign . While on the bus, I listened to the Radio Dept. because it’s good music for zoning out babies crying and such.
