room for improvement
Well, I'm settling into my room (yes, it's been two weeks: shush!) and I'm almost there. I still need to hang a few things on the walls. I'm noticing that the room doesn't have that home-y feel that my room last year had. And which I miss. This is definitely a strange little dorm room. Pictures to come, I promise. As soon as I clean. :P
Also needing improvement: the Red Sox. It's been heartbreaking watching them drop so many games. And, of course, the Yankees are resurgent, which is problematic. Still, they're a half-game behind Cleveland for the Wild Card, and still 1.5 games behind the Sox for the AL East. Which is looking more and more tenuous every day, though I would hate to say such things.
The University of Georgia people have shown up at Keble for the term. They're hilarious, and it's been really funny watching them attempt to find their way around Oxford. One of them has been living off of ramen for the past week. When I asked him where he was buying ramen (it's not as easy to find in the UK as in the US), he admitted that he had, in fact, just packed tons of it in his suitcase. They were thrilled to learn that it was actually possible to buy it here in Oxford. Like poor lost sheep they are.
Jess's blade went on the wall this morning: I miss her and Ted so much. The MCR really isn't the same without them around. It's nice to have a memento of Jess though: her indomitable spirit lives on in the form of a 20-foot rowing blade. :)
