End of Oxford program
The last week was just large amount of studying until Friday. On Friday I took my two finals and did pretty well in them since I got a B in Statics and an A in Government. At night I went to the campus pub with Cesar, Ian, Scottie, and I dragged out Becca. I made Becca play her first game of beer pong. We played 21 cup with Ian against Lindsey and two guys. Becca did pretty good for her first time. We lost the first game but played a second game, switching out Ian for Cesar. This time we won with Cesar making zero points and Becca pulling the team basically. It was really fun. We then went to the kabob shop and I got the Oxford special which was basically french fries with cheese and sauce. Very good drinking food. The next day Cesar, Ryan, Mariano, Michael, Anirudh, Rob, Jessica, and I went punting! It was pretty fun just riding down the river. Cesar, Rob, and Anirudh were in my boat. I watched the guys try to punt, which was pretty ridiculous. I was lazy and didn't try it though. We all then left and met up with Scottie, Ian, Russell, and Cori to grab a final dinner. We went to the big bang which only served bangers and mash. I had veggie bangers, pretty good. Afterwards we went to the official Oxford university pub. It is pretty famous so was full of people and we grabbed a beer. We went back to campus and just hung out for the last night. In the morning we woke up really early to get to the airport. It was a really long and agonizing plane ride. I was really glad to get home and see my parents. This whole trip was incredible and I was really glad that I decided to go. I cannot wait for next summer to go to Spain! =]

Day 62-68: Oxford week 5 and Phantom of the Opera
This last week was not as bad as the week before. I found out that I got a 90 on my Government test. I had to write my paper which took forever and I was really unmotivated for it, so we will see how I did. I still don't know how I did on my Statics test. I spent all Wednesday night writing my paper and didn't do my statics homework, so of course the statics teacher calls on me for the first time to do a problem on the board. Haha just my luck. It was OK, I really didn't know what I was doing but he didn't care. On Thursday Cesar and I went to eat at a Latin restaurant it was pretty good. Afterwards we went to Ryan's room to hang out. Ryan, Anirudh, Cesar and I went to the campus pub and started to play beer pong. Ryan and Anirudh beat Cesar and I but we beat Chris and some other guy who beat them. So it is like a circle of defeat. Haha Cesar and I finished off two pitchers of cider. I drank most of them and paid for it by getting sick. I threw up in a trashcan in my room, Cesar came up and saw. He went to tell the guys to cancel going to Thirst to smoke hookah. Instead I ran down after him and told them I was fine and ready to go. Another bad move on my part. We went and I smoked tons of hookah. I met this guy from California and some British guys. They gave me some of their hookah for free while I tried to hook the Californian guy up with the girl next to him. Cesar was kind of upset later on in the night because I talked with those guys so much. We left Thirst to start going home. As we were walking we passed by a kabob place and the guys were getting things to eat. I knew Cesar didn't have any cash on him so I bought one for him even though he really didn't want it. When we got back I got sick all over Cesar's bathroom, I cleaned it all up and went to my room with Cesar trailing behind. I told him I was fine and he could leave me be. I felt terrible ALL of Friday. I was in and out of bed until like 7:30 at night. Jamie and I went to dinner and then I played Mario party with Cesar and Ryan. Saturday Jamie and I went to see Phantom of the Opera. It was really good, the singing and effects were pretty awesome. We met this South Korean girl that was super nice and bought us drinks and went to dinner with us. She said if I ever go to Asia we can hang out. We came back to Oxford and went to sleep. Sunday was a pretty chill day. Cesar and I went to Yo! It is a sushi restaurant that the food goes on a conveyor belt all around and you just pick up the food you want. I did homework for the rest of the day. This coming up week is going to be BRUTAL since I have 2 finals on Friday.
