super-frape

Having got back to college early, Joe and I decided to uber-frape Tom. We covered his windows, sink/cupboard, light switch and keyhole in newspaper, hid his duvet under his mattress and stuck his cello in the centre of the room dressed in his lab coat. We then hid and waited for the reaction - I had to bite my tongue so hard to stop myself laughing as he stomped off to Manasi's room at 2am to look for his duvet ... We then rang his phone from my room which we'd also carefuly wrapped with the Oxstu ^_^

If Amelia were an animal...

...she'd be a cat. I love the look of contentment on her face! We decided that if we were all animals:
Alice= camel
Tom Smith= meerkat
Amelia = cat
Marja = flamingo or peacock
Me = fieldmouse
Tom Davies = Hare
Sam = Owl
I don't remember the rest but they were good!

The day i heard Jane Goodall speak

I was very fortunate to be able to go and hear Jane Goodall speak at the Oxford Union. She seemed very down-to-Earth and honest, I would've loved to have been able to talk to her during the book signing but she was very busy. Afterwards I had supper at Ben's :)

2/38 college formal hall at New

Fellow Biologist, Jess (who is also friends with Alice), invited us to formal at New college. I'm hoping to eat at every college (except the grad. ones) before leaving and so far I'd only been to formal hall at Hertford! After a meal of caesar salad, pasta bake and AMAZING chocolate cake we went exploring the college in the dark. Some of the corridors surrounding the quads were unlit except for the light of the moon so we had to use my camera and Alice's phone as torches. I asked everyone to do a scared face in the dark and then took a pic with flash...

Tourists for the day

Second day with Cheffi and Marianne. We visited Christ Church among other touristy things in Oxford AND got Millie's cookies (only the best cookies in the world..). Felt slightly lonely once they'd left.
